Issues

Report a bug
The
TrustedXFF
extension maintains a list of trusted hosts in a file in a PHP array format.
For details, see
meta:XFF project
The file can be generated using the generate.php maintenance script.
Installation
and move the extracted
TrustedXFF
folder to your
extensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension
from Git
instead, using:
cd
extensions/
git
clone
Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php
file:
wfLoadExtension
'TrustedXFF'
);
Done
– Navigate to
Special:Version
on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Limitations
Useless where
X-Forwarded-For
is unavailable. As of 2019, many wikis force
HTTPS
for all things. Any manipulation with headers on a proxy compromises HTTPs server authentication unless the proxy possesses an SSL certificate authoritative for the wiki in question. It makes the extension far less useful nowadays than it was originally envisaged.

configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's
