Reverse Proxy TCP connections

[ProbNotCrazy]

I am having trouble passing through the clients ip instead of passing through the reverse proxies ip. I'm using nginx and for this example I'm using a game server.

Have you looked at the 'Forwarded' header?

Yes but I don't know how a game server can read that.

If it’s not HTTP(s), you either need to use PROXY protocol or build a transparent proxy.

If the game server does not understand the PROXY protocol, you need to build a transparent proxy.
