 * Been using this plugin for years yet I still wonder whether I should enable ‘
   My site is behind a reverse proxy’ toggle if my site using Cloudflare DNS.
 * What’s the best practice for this?

 * The only condition for enabling it is when WP Cerber can’t detected real IP addresses.
   If you see real IP addresses in the Activity logs, you don’t need to enable it.
