CleanTalk module keeps blocking all comment form submissions #109

Closed geerlingguy closed 4 years ago

geerlingguy commented 4 years ago

It seems that maybe CleanTalk is not passing through the correct IP address for form submissions, because my server IP (104.236.203.61) keeps getting blocked due to thousands of spam submissions per day.

In Drupal 7, it seemed to work correctly, passing through the right IP address for end users who were submitting forms. But in Drupal 8 it doesn't seem to work right.

I've opened upstream issue Drupal 8 version doesn't account for reverse_proxy settings?, hopefully it can be resolved quickly!

Examples—notice the IP is always the same:

There's a new patch available that may help.

The patch is working great; logs are showing correct IPs now:
