+
+An ordered list of HTTP request headers inspected to determine the source IP address of a client request. The first header in the list which is present on the request is used; if none are found, the client IP cannot be determined. This is most commonly required when NetBox is deployed behind a reverse proxy which injects a proprietary client IP header (e.g. `HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP` for Cloudflare).
+
+The client IP is used for source-address restrictions on API tokens and for logging failed login attempts.
