+
+1. Behind another proxy service (ex: clouflare)
+
+You need to configure your Traefik to trust Forwarded headers by your front proxy
+In the exemple we use another instance of traefik with the container named cloudflare to simulate a front proxy
+
+The "internal" Traefik instance is configured to trust the cloudflare forward headers
+```yaml
+  - "--entrypoints.web.forwardedheaders.trustedips=172.21.0.5"
+```
+
+We configure the middleware to trust as well the IP:
+```yaml
+    - "traefik.http.middlewares.crowdsec1.plugin.bouncer.forwardedheaderstrustedips=172.21.0.5"
+```
+
