This is just a fix for getting a users actual IP instead of CloudFlare's ip on MyBB 1.6.4 as the 1.6.3 fix doesn't work on 1.6.4

1. Go to /inc/ in your MyBB directory and open up functions.php

2. Go to line 2889 and edit the following:

Replace:

    if(!preg_match("#^(10|172\.16|192\.168)\.#", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
    {
        $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }

with:

    if(!preg_match("#^(10|172\.16|192\.168)\.#", $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']))
    {
        $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'];
    }

Reupload the file and enjoy!

tooooo hard to dd code


my pc hanged

Pretty sure 1.6.4 has a fix for this already It's under Server & Optimisation settings I believe.

I could be entirely wrong though as I haven't used cloudflare for a while.

Thank you Richard :p

Does it work for 1.6.8 too?

Not needed for 1.6.8: ACP > Config > Settings > Server and Optimization Options > Scrutinize User's IP address? = Yes
