It is implemented by evaluating incoming `X-Forwarded-For` headers. This is the suggested method, see, e.g., [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For)

How does your proxy try to pass the original client address to Pi-hole?

ive reinstalled my pi os lite onto a new sd/better sd card, it works like intented now.

it uses x-forwarded-for correctly. pihole webinterface now sees the correct client ip.

maybe it was caused by doing docker ipv6 bridge wrong. maybe ive fogotten to re-lease a ipv6 prefix for this bridge.
