Reverse proxy honeypot problem

Author: J.Trelewicz (25 Jul 22 5:55am)

We have a honeypot on a site that sits behind a reverse proxy server, not CloudFlare, but a similar anti-DDoS function.

Unfortunately it appears that the threat score for the reverse proxy IP itself is rising every time a crawler hits the honeypot.

Is there a way to stop this behavior and let the honeypot report the correct IP (e.g., is there a header that could be added)? Otherwise we will have to disable this honeypot.
