For the life of me, I can’t seem to get ip-restriction to work since I’ve got an F5 in front. This is 0.13.1. In the kong.conf, I’ve got: trusted\_ips = 0.0.0.0/0,::0 real\_ip\_header = X-Forwarded-For real\_ip\_recursive = off I’m 100% sure that the F5 is sending the X-Forwarded-For address to kong. The reason I know that is that I made a quick modification to the access\_log settings in nginx,lua as follows: log\_format main '$remote\_addr - $remote\_user [$time\_local] “$request” ’ '$status $body\_bytes\_sent “$http\_referer” ’ ‘“$http\_user\_agent” “$http\_x\_forwarded\_for”’; $remote\_addr is the F5 and $http\_x\_forwarded\_for is the real client’s ip address. I know this has been asked many times but I just can’t seem to figure it out. ---

Nevermind. I had a typo in my config. Thanks anyway. ---

Thanks for the report! Mind marking this resolved?
