Cloudflare modifies the IP address in the HTTP headers by adding the 'X-Forwarded-For' header. This header contains a comma-separated list of IP addresses, starting with the original client IP and then including the IP addresses of each proxy server the request passed through. Cloudflare's IP is always the first entry.
