Comment:

 Faravahar went under a DDoS attack and I switched the upstream provider,
 also put the system behind a hardware ddos mitigation device and got a new
 IP.

 Apparently at some point, caching was enabled to improve the service by my
 provider on the HTTP port, which caused issues with the X-Your-Address-Is
 header.

 I made tickets and made sure that this does not happen, I don't expect to
 see this issue again, you can test it by sending GET requests to
 154.35.175.225.

 Having said that, if someone connects to the old IP still, because the
 traffic is being forwarded using NAT rules, the X-Your-Address-Is shows
 this:
 < X-Your-Address-Is: 154.35.32.5

 I am hoping to turn off the OLD IP and the NAT rules soon, as it has
 already been about 12 months. But the new/current IP functions properly.
 (154.35.175.225)
