I'm running nginx and I run all of my traffic through cloudflare (via whitelisting)

How do I restore the REAL visitors IP?

(I've referred to the listings on this page however they don't work (plus the mybb tutorial is out of date))

Go to
Admin CP > Configuration > Server and Optimization Options > Scrutinize User's IP address? > Yes

You can access your visitors IP via the server variable $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"]
