CloudFlare IP
This extension normalizes user IP addresses while your server is under Cloudflare proxy.

If you ever used https://www.cloudflare.com/ you would unfortunately suffer of the user IP being a certain range that comes from CloudFlare.
This can be an issue as you would not know the user real IP and could potentially ban the CloudFlare IP range leaving a bunch of users banned all together for example.

This extension fixes that problem ;)

Requirements:
It requires phpBB 3.1.10 and up!
Officially released on phpBB CDB (Customization Data Base) https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... dflare_ip/


NOTE:
SiteSplat's clients (using my themes: http://goo.gl/LvmwlF ) will have access to a better version which is integrated with CloudFlare API and allows to send the board Development mode and also clear the CF cache directly via ACP.
