CWP Invalid session on login

Good afternoon brains trust,

We have a somewhat annoying situation that maybe someone has a fix for..

If we hide CWP behind Cloudflare proxy, as soon as you log into it, you get an invalid session error and are logged out. Then, it may take 4-5 tries to log back in and even IF it lets you in, the same happens.

Now, if we stop Cloudflare proxying the connection, runs flawlessly.

It's a VMware virtual machine running CloudLinux (there's 2 boxes actually, same issue for both).

Thoughts?

Did you look at creating a Cloudflare firewall rule to allow your CWP admin port (2031 or 2087 or whatever)?

We're wanting to keep the actual servers IP hidden behind the Cloudflare proxy for DDoS mitigation. However, the email I got back from support earlier was to not proxy the hostname which is obviously not ideal for our use.

Very interested in this issue. I'm trying to solve the same problem, because the CloudFlare proxy changes the detected IP of the logged client, that's why it doesn't work. It could be solved if the real IP is passed to the CWP, so the cuestion is: How?

I believe that the issue could be solved easily if the CWP developers change the code to get the real IP. Because you can notice that at the bottom of the CWP dashboard where it says "Your IP" that it's wrong when using behind the CLoudFlare proxy. It can be observed for a moment, just before being logged out from the panel.

May be anybody knows how to suggest this to the CWP team, because it's really a very small change into the source code. But may be I'm wrong. Just my two cents trying to provide a solution
