When using the Artica Reverse Proxy behind a load balancer (such as PulseReverse), the Proxy Protocol allows the load balancer to transmit the original client’s source IP address and port to the backend web servers.
This information is essential, as it enables Artica Reverse Proxy to accurately monitor and log client activity at the proxy level.
Warning: When you enable the Proxy Protocol option, only the load balancer can communicate with the website.
You cannot access the site directly with your browser — all traffic must go through the load balancer.
- The Proxy Protocol is enabled in the listening ports section.
To do this, open your reverse proxy rule and click on the “Ports” tab. - When you specifiy a port, you can set the option “Accept Proxy Procotol”
