XF 2.0 Shared iP not accurate

[KSA]

The shared ip on my site appears not to be accurate, it is flagging some members whom we know do not have duplicated accounts.

We are on cloudflare if that makes a difference with this in config file

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) { $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; }

any thoughts?

Have you looked up what the shared IPs resolve to? Are they something that could indeed be shared (a proxy of some sort) or do they resolve to specific home internet-style addresses?

If it's the latter, then the only thing I can think of is an add-on that has a bug relating to inserting IP records for the wrong user (which can happen in some circumstances where automated inserts happen).

The system is flagging multiple users with the same Ip 173.244.44.61. We personally know those users, they live in different parts of the world

They might be trusted people and also be using a VPN for legitimate reasons that have the same exit node.
