Summary

This adds a section to the Restoring Visitor IPs documentation for the Caddy web server/reverse proxy.

Caddy is an increasingly popular alternative to Nginx and Apache which already have guides on there so I figured as I had to do my research to be able to handle the problem, that I'd share my solution with other users potentially seeking to solve the same problem.

Had forgotten to include the ipv6 ranges in the remote_ip matcher hence the force push. Everything should be good now

How can I customize these reviews?

Check out the Hyperlint AI Reviewer docs for more information on how to customize the review.

If you just want to ignore it on this PR, you can add the hyperlint-ignore label to the PR. Future changes won't trigger a Hyperlint review.

Note specifically for link checks, we only check the first 30 links in a file and we cache the results for several hours (for instance, if you just added a page, you might experience this). Our recommendation is to add hyperlint-ignore to the PR to ignore the link check for this PR.
