FAQ

Read how WordPress shortcode work: WordPress Codex

The shortcode reads a forwarded header only when the request reaches your site through a proxy it recognises. Local reverse proxies and Cloudflare are already in the list. For any other CDN, add its ranges:

add_filter( 'cys_trusted_proxies', function ( $proxies ) {     $proxies[] = '203.0.113.0/24';     return $proxies; } );

Ask your host or your CDN which ranges to use. Getting it wrong breaks nothing, the shortcode simply falls back to the address of whoever opened the connection.
