User Accounts IP Issue - huss - 2025-07-23

Hi I noticed today that anyone connected to my jellyfin server, the IP shows my server IP and not their home IP. 
Seems strange, it used to always show the IP they are connected from until now. does anyone have any idea why or is this something with latest update.

I am running 
Jellyfin server 10.10.7
Debain server 12 OS
Hardware: Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz, 12 cores & 128GB Ram 

I have it installed direct on hardware and using reverse proxy with letsencrypt ssl

is there any other info needed?


Thanks

You need to configure the reverse proxy properly as well as the known proxies within the networking section of Jellyfin. See: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/reverse-proxy/#forwarded-for-headers

The known proxies change happened with the last release I believe.

Hi bitmap
thanks for the reply, I just found it strange that all of a sudden it changed and started showing the server IP instead of the user IP.

I will follow the link and edit my reverse proxy. much appreciated Smiling-face
