**Detecting Real IP Addresses on CentOS 8**

The code snippet you provided is a PHP solution for detecting real IP addresses. However, if you're looking for alternative methods besides using PHP or other server-side scripting languages, here are a few options:

1. **Apache's `ProxyPass` and `ProxyPassReverse` directives**: In Apache configuration files (usually found in `/etc/httpd/conf.d/`), you can use the following directives to detect real IP addresses:

```apache
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/

Header set X-Forwarded-For %{HTTP:X-FORWARDED-FOR}
```

This will pass the `X-Forwarded-For` header from your proxy server to Apache, allowing you to detect the original IP address.

2. **Using a Reverse Proxy like NGINX**: If you're using NGINX as your reverse proxy, you can use its built-in modules to detect real IP addresses. Here's an example configuration:

```nginx
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
```

This will pass the `X-Forwarded-For` header from your proxy server to NGINX, allowing you to detect the original IP address.

3. **Using a module like `mod_eip`**: The `mod_eip` module for Apache is specifically designed to detect real IP addresses behind proxies and VPNs. You can install it using the following command:

```bash
sudo yum install mod_eip
```

Then, add the following configuration to your Apache file:

```apache
LoadModule eip_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_eip.so

<IfModule eip_module>
EIPDetect on
</IfModule>
```

4. **Using a third-party library like `Geocoder`**: Geocoder is a PHP library that can detect real IP addresses using a geolocation-based approach. You can install it using Composer:

```bash
composer require geocoder/geocoder
```

Then, use the following code to detect the user's real IP address:

```php
use GeocoderGeocoder;
use GeocoderModelCountries;

$geocoder = new Geocoder();
$countries = $geocoder->getCountries();

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$country = $geocoder->getCountry($ip);
echo $country;
```

Keep in mind that the accuracy of these methods may vary depending on your specific use case and network configuration.

**Detecting Real IP Addresses on Apache, Linux, and PHP**

You've already found a reliable method using PHP, but there are other ways to detect real IP addresses besides PHP code. Here's an overview of alternative methods for Apache, Linux, and PHP:

**Method 1: Using mod_remoteip (Apache)**

Mod_remoteip is a module for Apache that allows you to detect the client's real IP address. You can enable it in your Apache configuration file (`httpd.conf` or `apache2.conf`) by adding the following lines:
```bash
LoadModule remoteip_module modules/mod_remoteip.so
RemoteIPProxyClient IP;
```
Then, in your PHP code, you can use the following variables to get the real IP address:
```php
$remoteip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if (empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
$real_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
} else {
$real_ip = explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])[0];
}
echo $real_ip;
```
**Method 2: Using ip2proxy (Apache)**

ip2proxy is a tool that allows you to detect IP addresses as VPN, Tor, or proxy IP addresses. You can use it with Apache by installing the `libapache2-mod-ip2proxy` module.

First, install the module:
```bash
apt-get update
apt-get install libapache2-mod-ip2proxy
```
Then, add the following lines to your Apache configuration file:
```bash
LoadModule ip2proxy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ip2proxy.so

<LimitExcept GET HEAD>
setenvproxyip ip2proxy /etc/ip2proxy.conf
</LimitExcept>
```
Create a configuration file `/etc/ip2proxy.conf` with the following content:
```ini
# Allow IP address 192.168.1.100 to bypass proxy detection
allow 192.168.1.100

# Block all VPN and Tor IP addresses
deny 10.8.0.0/24, 199.186.0.0/16, 2.6.0.0/12, fd02:/8/0, fd03:/8/1
```
In your PHP code, you can use the `ip2proxy_get_client_ip()` function to get the real IP address:
```php
$real_ip = ip2proxy_get_client_ip();
echo $real_ip;
```
**Method 3: Using PHP's built-in functions (PHP 7.4+)**

In PHP 7.4 and later, you can use the `get_real_ip()` function to get the client's real IP address:
```php
$real_ip = get_real_ip();
echo $real_ip;
```
This function automatically detects the client's real IP address and returns it.

**Conclusion**

These methods allow you to detect real IP addresses on your website, excluding VPN, Tor, and proxy IP addresses. Choose the method that best fits your needs, considering factors like compatibility, ease of use, and configuration requirements.
