This setting allows you to change the method of identifying users. By default Faucet in a Box will use the connecting IP address. Hovewer if you're using a reverse proxy, like CloudFlare or Incapsula, the connecting IP address will always be the address of the proxy. That results in all faucet users sharing the same timer. If you set this option to a correct proxy, then Faucet in a Box will use a corresponding HTTP Header instead of IP address.

However you MUST prevent anyone from bypassing the proxy. HTTP Headers can be spoofed, so if someone can access your page directly, then he can send his own headers, effectively ignoring the timer you've set and stealing all your coins!

Faucet in a Box has a security feature that will disable Reverse Proxy support if it detects any connection that has bypassed the proxy. Hovewer the detection is not perfect, so you shouldn't rely on it. Instead make proper precautions, for example by configuring your firewall to only allow connections from your proxy IP addresses.

If you're using a Reverse Proxy (CloudFlare or Incapsula) choose it from the list below. If your provider is not listed below contact us at support@faucetbox.com

None is always a safe setting, but - as explained above - the timer may be shared between all your users if you're using a proxy.
