How do I enable proxy protocol v1/v2 for Unrealircd? I run through a reverse proxy for DDOS protection. All users show as 127.0.0.1 instead of their real ip, so banning is useless.

This is not an unrealircd matter, rather the way your proxy can forward the user real IP.
Unrealircd cannot guess anything

Unrealircd is seeing the connecting ip's as 127.0.0.1:40000-50000. I've tried both v1 and v2.
Proxy Protocol v1 or v2 adds the real info to the connection header, however unrealircd has no support for it, it would seem.

UnrealIRCd's Proxy block may be useful for this.
I've never used it so I can't be of much help with it.
You can always join #unreal-support @ irc.unrealircd.org for real-time discussions.
