Description Ryan 2013-02-02 18:53:02 UTC 
I am running WikiMedia on nginx (CentOS 6.3 is the OS if it matters) and using CloudFlare to protect the site.  The nameservers are currently pointed to CloudFlare.  WikiMedia displays CloudFlare's IP address rather than the client's IP address when editing a page.

For an example, see http://bit.ly/12ixWdR.  You will notice the IP address is always 108.162.231.145 (or a CloudFlare IP address) when changing an article which is CloudFlare.  It should report the user's external ISP IP address rather than CloudFlare's.  Otherwise, you won't know who edited what.
Comment 1 Platonides 2013-02-02 18:55:06 UTC 
Did you configure CloudFare IPs in $wgSquidServersNoPurge ?
(or $wgSquidServers if they do need to get sent a purge)
Comment 2 Ryan 2013-02-02 19:06:31 UTC 
Didn't even think of that.  Thank you.
