DocumentationProxy Protocol
v4Guard Tunnel allows you to rewrite the player's IP address to the original one by using the standardized Proxy Protocol. If you don't rewrite the IP address, you will see the IP address of the edge server that is forwarding the traffic to your upstream, causing issues with plugins that rely on the player's IP address (e.g. punishment plugins, analytics plugins...).
Security Notice
Make sure your server is properly firewalled and only accepts connections from our edge servers, otherwise you will be vulnerable to IP spoofing attacks. Please refer to Upstream Protection section for more info.
