Description
Current HTTP/1.1 does not provide any standard way of indicating the client address in the request. Since a number of people missed having the originating client address in the request, Squid now adds its own request header called “X-Forwarded-For” which looks like this: X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3|unknown
If set, Squid will include your system’s IP address or name in the HTTP requests it forwards. By default it looks like this:
X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3
If you disable this, it will appear as X-Forwarded-For: unknown
