How do I restore original visitor IP with vBulletin? (https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170856-How-do-I-restore-original-visitor-IP-with-vBulletin-)

Tell me if it works for you

I dont think those instructions will work on vB5

I know this is old, but commonly asked.. I had this problem with both vb4 & vb5 if you use a vps or dedicated server you can setup your server to give the original ip, this allows any forum backend to log the correct ip.

this explains how to fix the ip problem based on your server http ( Apache or litespeed )

Thank you very much for your answer, but I am looking for a modification that works very well , it is to make a modification on file class_core

Why do you need modification if simply changing the config works?

The truth is that I did not understand what I need to change in the config.php file ,If you will explain me I will be grateful

I explained what you need to change. Which part exactly you didn't understand? You can reply in that thread.

I replied to that thread saying that the suggested changes in config.php works on my own vB5 site.
