Similar to a problem with the IP deny manager not working, I'm getting another issue regarding accessing and IPs.

Mine and another user's IPs have shown as 198.91.81.8, I also saw a guest browsing one of the threads also using the same IP.

I also tested out by using a proxy server to browse the board and it also registered it as 198.91.81.8, even though the proxy is located in the UK and has nothing to do with x10Hosting...

I noticed this was happening yesterday, and my site, if three people used the same IP to log in or register, will deny any more new accounts from that IP - me and another user logged in and it logged us as that IP, so could pose a problem for the site.

Hope this is fixed ;) - xo7 server.

Yes, the requests to the web server are coming from the server(s) in front of it (cache, load balancers, etc.). That's normal, and as it should be; it's only a "problem" insofar as you weren't aware of it. You can use the X_FORWARDED_FOR header to determine the IP of the user request.
