Server IP showsing up in acess logs

I noticed recently (since we had an attack on a website) that all of the logs on the server show up as the server's IP is the visitor. It's the same if I check WordFence on WordPress sites, visitors in cPanel of the sites, and logs straight on the server. I don't have this issue on other servers but I honestly don't know what is different about this one. I am using Apache + Nginx (the one provided by cPanel, previously I used Ngintron). Have no idea where to start so any help is appreciated. Best

  Hey there! The most likely explanation is that you need to install the Apache mod_remote IP software. Details on that can be found here:

  Hi cPRex, that seems to have fixed the issue. I am already seeing other IP addresses in my log files now. thank you!

  Great - I'm glad to hear that's all it took! This does get a mention in our documentation for nginx here:
