Description
Hello,
I'm wondering what header information the Country list is using.
Header: Remote_addr can be a bit weird where in a proxy envoiremnt could cause false positives.
Would be nice to use CF-Connecting-IP and or X-Forwarded-For

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the website analytics path that builds the visitor Country list and identify how Remote_addr is read. Compare the available proxy headers and define which address is used; done when proxied visitors are assigned the expected country without breaking direct requests.
