The <literal>ngx_stream_realip_module</literal> module is used
to change the client address and port
to the ones sent in the PROXY protocol header (1.11.4).
The PROXY protocol must be previously enabled by setting the
<link doc="ngx_stream_core_module.xml" id="proxy_protocol"/> parameter
in the <literal>listen</literal> directive.

This module is not built by default, it should be enabled with the
