WAF Client IP

 Using SOPHOS XG I've successfully setup up 3 different web servers and business firewall rules to route to them but in every case the web server sees the client IP as that of the firewall/gateway and not the actual WAN client?  Is there a setting that needs/can be changed so that the client information is passed tot he web server. I do NOT have masquerading turned on anywhere that I am aware of. I did the same thing in UTM and the client IP's were passed through with no problem. I have one system that looks at the client IP and will only challenge for authentication if it is a WAN IP address but it's seeing every WAN client as the gateway's address and therefore considering it local and wont challenge any user for authentication.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi  

    Could you please confirm if you have pass host header selected in Advanced > Additional options in WAF rule?

    Pass Host Header: When you select this option, the host header as requested by the client will be preserved and forwarded along with the web request to the web server.
