 * When I check the box for “The server is behind a reverse proxy” and hit save,
   the setting does not save (the checkbox is no longer checked.)
 * My [HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR] has my client ip and some server network ip address
   separated by a comma.
 * Not sure what is causing the issue, but when i use [geoip_detect2 property=”mostSpecificSubdivision.
   name”] i get the State my server is in not where I am.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks!

    So looks like my varnish .vcl file had:
 * if (req.restarts == 0) {
    if (req.http.x-forwarded-for) { set req.http.X-Forwarded-
   For = req.http.X-Forwarded-For + “, ” + client.ip; } else { set req.http.X-Forwarded-
   For = client.ip; } }
 * But req.http.X-Forwarded-For was already my client ip and client.ip was the load
   balancer’s ip, so i just set varnish to use the req.http.X-Forwarded-For.
 * The checkbox for “The server is behind a reverse proxy” doesn’t stay checked 
   however even though it does actually appear to be saving.

 * You’re right, since the refactoring in 2.4.0 the checkboxes didn’t show up properly(
   although the options still work) – this is fixed in Github and with the next 
   minor release.
