To configure AWS EC2 to show the real IP address of the client instead of the server IP, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Launch an EC2 instance and assign an Elastic IP address to it.

  2. Open the security group for incoming traffic and allow traffic from the internet to the instance.

  3. Install and configure Apache or Nginx web server on the instance.

  4. Install mod_remoteip on the web server to modify the headers of the requests to the instance.

  5. Configure the mod_remoteip module to replace the server IP address with the client IP address.

  6. Restart the web server to apply the changes.

  7. Test the configuration by accessing the instance from a client IP address and verify that the server logs show the correct client IP address.

Note: The exact steps may vary depending on the operating system and web server you are using.
