I have tried the Bad Behavior mod but it doesn't work. Bad Behavior mod settings:
Enable Reverse Proxy: On
IP call to Reverse Proxy: CF-Connecting-IP
Also see someone else with this problem: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=532447.msg3783480#msg3783480
I do not want to debate the usefulness of CloudFlare here.
Edit: Adding this to the top of my index.php file fixed it without the need for a mod:
if($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']){
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
}
IIRC, CF has a SMF mod at their site that fixes this issue ;)
Thank you guys for this, useful... I'm with yall, still evaluating how useful CF is myself... we'll watch it for a while longer here....

That setting in Bad Behavior is only for when Bad Behavior does a search. The settings allow the correct IP address to show up in the Bad Behavior visitor log. The Bad Behavior setting has absolutely nothing to do with any other log that is not part of the mod.
You will need the Cloud Flare for SMF mod to view SMF logs.
How about this?

<?php if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']))
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
?>
Can it use for smf? and what file should be fix?
You can find the CF mode here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=468525.msg3275201#msg3275201
Thought I would add to the thread here, I realize it's old, but this comes up on google results.
Put this in Sources/QueryString.php just before where it checks if $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is set. On SMF 2.1 RC2 this is line 251
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) {
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
}
This will make the entire board compatible with cloudflare without any other mods or server config as QueryStrings is the first Source loaded.
A pr got open to this for 2.1
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/pull/5732
Nice, great idea! Thanks!
2.1 has functionality for this in the Security page... where you can select which one you want to use, including CloudFlare...
To had this on auto detection didn't sound wrong to my eyes.

Hi, has been included in RC3?
Even if I select "Reverse Proxy IP Header: CF-Connecting-IP" with 2.1 RC3 I only see cloudflare IP.
Thanks
what version of RC3 are you testing? the distributed one form this site or the one from GitHub that is almost RC4?
According to the merge note, it was not merged until October...
Hi Kindred, I'm using the distributed one form this site.
There is the option but it doesn't work correctly.

Hi Kindred, I'm using the distributed one form this site.
yup, and that is the "issue" -- that release was made before the merge.
There have been several hundred commits since the RC3 release on this site. During Beta dn RC time-periods, the download from GitHuib is almost always a better option.
OK, I applied this change https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/pull/5732/commits/5a5dee8e33e66fff883ba587e3c98418dede6d97 to QueryString.php but it still doesn't work.
I also cleared the cache (SMF + CF)
Can you confirm that with the github version it works correctly?
Downloaded the git version and I always see IP cloudflare!
If I revert this
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/pull/5732/commits/5a5dee8e33e66fff883ba587e3c98418dede6d97
to
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/pull/5732/commits/37eeccc1f24f9d503c3bf3393e9e063e02b23eed
everything works perfectly and I see the correct IP.

Finally! A perfect fix! Thank you for this!
Also with RC4 I see only Cloudflare IPs, has anyone tested this bug?

I hate to bump this, but even in 2.1.1 this is still an issue for me too. None of the RC's ever resolved it for me after the feature was added either.
I can also confirm that using RC4 prior did not fix it.
Did you configure the relevant settings?

I've tried manually setting the proxy types, as well as using the auto feature. Beyond that, I've been having extreme difficulty finding any information on the subject outside of this topic. I do see the field for setting specific proxy servers for security purposes, but the wording appears to make that optional for better security, and I haven't messed with it yet because I would prefer to get the actual system working first before messing with it more. ;D
I swear shadav had a post on this outlining a fix for CloudFlare but I cannot find it.
@shadav? Are you aware of a fix for IPs under Cloudflare? Or did you fix it by a call to Cloudflare?
lol I think you are thinking about my modem connection issues where I had to change my dns settings use cloudflare ip address or another service because my internet provider (xfinity) sucks
for me on cloudflare I had to turn off Rocket Loader under the optimization settings other wise it messed up my sites (couldn't use the menu, etc)
also turn off Mobile Redirect
as for ip, I don't recall off the top of my head
running a quick search there's this mod for 2.0.x

Unfortunately that only affects 2.0.x though. 2.1.x is supposed to have support for this built in.

By any chance are you referring to using these headers?:
