Getting correct address from client when server is behind a load balancer

Ignition
1

We have several Perspective servers setup behind an F5 Load Balancer. It’s working great, but one side affect I didn’t anticipate was the fact that in the Perspective Session status page all the Addresses of the clients show as the IP address of said load balalncer. I tried turning on Use Proxy Forward Headers, even though I was sure it wouldn’t help, and it didn’t. Wondering if anyone using load balancer has experienced this and if there is some setting were missing.

Thanks.

Enabling this setting in Ignition has to be paired with configuring your proxy server / load balancer to include the "X-Forwarded-For" header as well.
