position property

ForwardedIPPosition position
final

The position in the header to search for the IP address. The header can contain IP addresses of the original client and also of proxies. For example, the header value could be 10.1.1.1, 127.0.0.0, 10.10.10.10 where the first IP address identifies the original client and the rest identify proxies that the request went through.

The options for this setting are the following:

  • FIRST - Inspect the first IP address in the list of IP addresses in the header. This is usually the client's original IP.
  • LAST - Inspect the last IP address in the list of IP addresses in the header.
  • ANY - Inspect all IP addresses in the header for a match. If the header contains more than 10 IP addresses, AWS WAF inspects the last 10.
