Description

NPM Version: v2.14.0
I run NPM frontend by Cloudflare and enforce it through NAT ACLs but I also want per site to be able to block access to my machines at layer 7 as I get access to the original client IP address.

I expect that whatever IP address I enter in the Access List it should be the IP address that the real_ip_header pulls.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how Access Lists generate Nginx ACL configuration and how the real_ip_header setting is applied when requests pass through Cloudflare or NAT. Done means an IP entered in an Access List is matched against the original client IP rather than the proxy address.
