My web app checks the IP address of the user, but after deploying I realized I'm getting the wrong IP address which means the edge proxy is not forwarding the IP address properly. I really don't know how it works in the backend.
When trying to disable the edge proxy I get this message:
Failed to update edge entrypoint
One of your domains is configured with target ports which requires the new proxy. Delete the domain before trying to disable the proxy.
I don't really understand the message since I'm using the default node port 8080 and I have my domain with cloudflare and the proxy on cloudflare is off.

The edge proxy is setting the correct header, no issues there.
The issue is that you have middleware that is updating the request IP from the X-Forwarded-For header, but will only do that if the original request IP is within a private range, but the edge proxy will forward requests to your app from the range of 100.0.0.0/8 so you will need to update the middleware to trust IPs in this range also.

Solved, thank you.
