Welcome Damen. See https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4-option%20forwardfor option forwardfor and adjust your application accordingly. Sometimes x-real-ip is used or sometimes the application can support the PROXY protocol, you'll need to check whats possible -- https://www.haproxy.com/blog/haproxy/proxy-protocol/ was invented IIRC by Willy for haproxy, but it's really widespread now in other applications, as a generic non-HTTP-specific way of providing inbound IP address to proxied applications.
