Hallo,
after upgrading from Admin Tools Pro 5.3.2 to 5.3.3 I get the message: “Admin Tools detected an HTTP header that is usually used when the server is behind a proxy. Do you want to enable our support for proxied IPs?”
I’m using a Linux Apache Webserver and no changes were implemented.
Until 5.3.2 no IP workaround was necessary. Have you changed any settings?
Thank you for your kind response.
Kind regards

We have not changed any settings, we added a feature. We had a lot of people who got locked out of their site because their server is behind a proxy and all requests appear to be coming from the same IP address. As a result every time there were many security exceptions that IP got blocked, therefore blocking everyone from accessing their site. Now we are detecting the HTTP headers which are tell-tale sign that your site is behind a reverse proxy, a cache, a CDN or other non-transparent network equipment which is forwarding IP traffic.

Please do as the message instructs you.
