ForwardedIpConfig
The configuration for inspecting IP addresses in an HTTP header that you specify, instead of using the IP address that's reported by the web request origin. Commonly, this is the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header, but you can specify any header name.
If the specified header isn't present in the request, WAF doesn't apply the rule to the web request at all.
This configuration is used for GeoMatchStatement and RateBasedStatement. For IPSetReferenceStatement, use IPSetForwardedIPConfig instead.
WAF only evaluates the first IP address found in the specified HTTP header.
