I know there are fixes but the average contributor is not going to know what to do. They simply say... "sammyboy.com" fucked up... keeps logging me out... lost my post etc.
In the era of mobile connections many members don't even know how to copy and paste a post url because the complete url does not appear on a mobile browser by default.
The age of the internet savvy operator are long gone. When I first started on the internet the majority knew how things worked. Now if it does not load on a phone people just go elsewhere or give up.
that's the problem with users these days. everything has to be served on a silver plate. they don't bother to even check "internet options" anymore for explorer users. for firefox users since it's open source it's lot more helpful with tips and info from the mozzila community. fb is also receiving complaints about users getting logged off frequently, but they have an army of tech support to address user issues on a case by case basis. for me since i'm crowd jaga i do cum across issues with proxy and user ip mismatch and here's a resolution for crowd. can't 100% handle other cases as it's case by case depending on provider, browser and ott software.
Proxy Servers
If you are running applications behind one or more proxy servers then you may find it useful to configure Crowd to trust the proxies' addresses. When a proxy server forwards an HTTP request, Crowd will recognize the request as coming from the request's originator, not from the proxy server. This is particularly useful if you want single sign-on amongst several applications running behind different proxy servers.
Configuring a trusted proxy server means that Crowd will iterate through client IP address and IP addresses in the X-Forwarded-For header from right to left and pick the first IP address that is not a trusted proxy. The address is then used as the client's IP address.
To configure Crowd to trust a proxy server,
Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
Click the 'Administration' tab in the top navigation bar.
Click 'Trusted Proxy Servers' in the left-hand menu.
The 'Trusted Proxy Servers' screen appears. Type the IP address or the host name of the proxy server. Possible values are:
A full IP address, e.g. 192.168.10.12 (IPv4) or 2001:db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334 (IPv6).
An IPv4 subnet using wildcard notation, e.g. 192.168.*.*.
An IPv4 or IPv6 subnet, using CIDR notation, e.g. 192.168.10.1/16 (IPv4) or 2001:db8:85a3::/64 (IPv6). For more information, see the introduction to CIDR notation on Wikipedia and RFC 4632.
A host name, e.g. proxy.example.org. All IP addresses bound to the given host name will be trusted.
(info) Using host names will cause DNS requests to be sent, which might affect Crowd performance.
Click the 'Add' button.
