On my current reverse proxy solution there’s very little config that can be
done. I can forward the original host header and/or I can proxy the request
with the original IP or the proxied IP.
When I choose to send the original IP the requests don’t seem to ever reach the
server, so I’m currently playing around with that.
I presume this check is something new to 6.0.x? If we can’t work around my
current proxy appliance, is there a way to disable this check? We should have a
new reverse proxy solution very soon which may provide many more options,
however that may be a few months off. Obviously I can’t answer for Andrew here
either, I don’t know his situation.
Cheers,
Andi

Hi Andrew,
I’m also seeing the exact same issue. Users choose to register by email, then
click the email validation link and get a message to say they must use the same
device to validate.
My packetfence.log looks just like yours but I also noticed in mine that I see
my reverse proxy appliance IP address in the log, which is where I think
packetfence is failing to match the mac address:
I don’t know whether this is a similar situation with your setup or not.
I’m just playing with the transparency settings on the reverse proxy to see if
that will help.
PacketFence tries to detect which device is connecting to the portal http
server based on the incoming IP of the connection.
Proxying is indeed likely to break it.
Can you have the Proxy send a header with the origin IP such as X-Forwarded-for?
