…-ip-header commandline option is used in server mode. We should not assume that the X-Forwarded-For header (and synonyms) contain only the client's IP address. The header can contain a comma-separated list that also includes proxies in the chain. See the following: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/X-Forwarded-For

We should not assume that the X-Forwarded-For header (and synonyms) contain only the client's IP address. The header can contain a comma-separated list that also includes proxies in the chain.
