Visitor IP wrong - All come from my server IP

Hello,

I use the “Piwik Tracker Proxy” like described at GitHub - matomo-org/tracker-proxy: HTTP proxy for Piwik’s tracker API. This script allows to track websites with Piwik without revealing to your visitors the secret Piwik server URL. since a few months.
It works so far.

The only problem is, that all visitors come from my own server ip.
I searched already in the forum but I didn’t found any solution.

I use the newest version of the piwik.php from tracker-proxy/piwik.php at master · matomo-org/tracker-proxy · GitHub

Attached my piwik.php:

Nobody any idea?

Hello,

Please see: How do I configure Piwik when the server is installed behind a proxy? - Analytics Platform - Matomo

Hey Matt,

thanks for your link.
I tried this solution already but I tested it again.

Now it works.
The solution was:

proxy_client_headers[] = HTTP_CLIENT_IP
at the config.ini.php

The piwik rights (main administrator) for the tracking user was missing.

Thanks

Regards
