DDoS/Spam Detection

I've been trying to build up this spam detector to run on my machines, but I've been struggling due to Nginx Proxy Manger / Nginx in general. I've already added

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;

to the advanced config in NPM but it's still detecting packets as from my own IP

think you're misinterpreting the use case I run many things, I just want to know where the traffic is coming from / going. I operate a server host So many mc servers, webapplications, apis, cdns etc

How are you detecting packets? Are you using Nginx streams?

AshankOP•2mo ago

no, I have 0 idea how thats the thing I'm just using tcpdump, and that can't detect nginx stuff How do I use nginx streams?

SilentBot•2mo ago

tcpdump doesn't understand proxy_protocol so you would need a program which was proxy_protocol aware to do your logging

SilentBot•2mo ago

or something like mmproxy to "undo" the proxy_protocol https://github.com/cloudflare/mmproxy

I believe you could maybe also do it with tshark with the right path

I mean, tcpdump doesn't understand proxy_protocol, so there's no way to magically change the source ip back It's why you'd typically run it only on your proxy instead
