Blocking user behind proxy

[Reinis Rozitis]

While I'm not 100% sure (prolly Igor or Maxim can confirm/deny) if the module changes the clients ip before other modules/internals 
(like Access) but you could use the RealIP module http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpRealIpModule

And bassicaly add just the required header:

real_ip_header     TRUE-CLIENT-IP;
