Let’s suppose this configuration |Server1| <----- |Server2| <----- |Client| A client sends a request that starts a script on Server2.The script ( running on server2) from this server 2 will download a webpage from Server1. Is it possible to record Client’s IP on Server1, instead of Server2’s IP? In other words, Server1 will think the request for downloading is directly from Client. That is Server2’s IP will be “invisible” for Server1 Is this possbile?
The diagram looks like a typical proxying situation. If you are trying to avoid having someone identify you, it may not work as well as you would like.
If your goal is transparency, what you can do depends on your level of access and control of server2. If your goal is of obscurity, it may work to a degree, but there have been some news stories lately of, for instance, security researchers identifying the IP of people even though they went through Tor.
So, yes, it may be possible. MAA
