SSL Forward proxy and X-Forwarded-for

Hello all I followed the different articles to create a forward proxy and it works well for HTTP and HTTPS I need now to add the X-forwarded-for field in queries to send IP client information to the next device I modified for this the explicit proxy HTTP profile (of my VS proxy 8080) and it works for the HTTP traffic I modified my http profile for VS HTTPS 0.0.0.0/0:443 and it works except that instead of having the IP address of the client, I have F5 SNAT IP When I look at the IP :: client_addr or IP :: remote_addr variables, I see the SNATs of the F5 and not the IP address of my client. How to recover it? Thanks for your help

    you can write an irule like :

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::method] equals "CONNECT } {
        snat none
    }
}

    then enable SNAT in VS HTTPS 0.0.0.0/0:443
