::ffff:127.0.0.1 Address from client on same VPN as application #56

So I have an application living on server that is on the same VPN as the clients. No matter what I do to get the VPN Local IP of the client hitting the server, it always comes back as ::ffff:127.0.0.1. Any thoughts ?

You can close this. I figured out it was actually the NGINX server block that needed

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
