A lot of times I've seen questions about how this works when you have multiple nodes or a CDN, it can be quite tricky in theory if you have random IPs or several IPs. The way certbot works at least for non-DNS challenges is that it will hit a random server that it resolves to, you have no control over which one it hits. If certbot hits node 1 at first to tell it to create the well-known file, then checks node 2 or any other node, you will find auhorization fails.........

This solves the problem where your logs and services will only see the proxy/CDN IP and not the real client IP. modremoteip is the most modern and current working solution Step 1.) Enable remoteip a2enmod remoteip Step 2.) Edit/Enable the correct config Edit t........

This is useful because you can transparently pass your mic input from the host which means you can mute your microphone from the host, which prevents the guest from receiving any mic input even if unmuted. Mute / Unmute Fix This issue also seems to happen even if you press the mute button on the microphone and then unmute,........
