<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_protocol.html">mod_proxy_protocol</a></code> implements the server side of
    HAProxy's
    <a href="http://blog.haproxy.com/haproxy/proxy-protocol/">Proxy Protocol</a>.</p>

    <p>The module overrides the client IP address for the connection
    with the information supplied by the upstream proxy in the proxy
    protocol (connection) header.</p>

    <p>This overridden useragent IP address is then used for the
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code>
    <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require ip</a></code>
    feature, is reported by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>, and is recorded by
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a></code> <code>%a</code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code>
    <code>%a</code> format strings. The underlying client IP of the connection
    is available in the <code>%{c}a</code> format string.</p>

    <div class="warning">It is critical to only enable this behavior from
    intermediate proxies which are trusted by this server, since it is trivial
    for the remote client to impersonate another client. Currently this must
    be done by external means (such as a firewall) as this module does not
    (yet) implement access controls.</div>

    <p>The <code class="directive">ProxyProtocolFilter</code> enables or disables the
    reading and handling of the proxy protocol connection header. If enabled
    the upstream client <em>must</em> send the header every time it opens a
    connection or the connection will get aborted.</p>

    <p>While this directive may be specified in any virtual host, it is
    important to understand that because the proxy protocol is connection
    based and protocol agnostic, the enabling and disabling is actually based
    on ip-address and port. This means that if you have multiple name-based
    virtual hosts for the same host and port, and you enable it any one of
    them, then it is enabled for all them (with that host and port). It also
    means that if you attempt to enable the proxy protocol in one and disable
    in the other, that won't work; in such a case the last one wins and a
    notice will be logged indicating which setting was being overridden.</p>
