 * Everytime we set this to: HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP
 * We press Save Options
 * Then later on it switches back automatically to REMOTE_ADDR… Can you see if this
   is a bug or what’s going on?

 * Is the address represented by REMOTE_ADDR incorrect?

 * Yeah, but your setting doesn’t stay if I put that option…

 * The setting will be automatically adjusted if there is any page load where the
   IP address is detected as invalid. It doesn’t change for any other reason..
