Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Focused on robustness and stability in the RealIP plugin for trafficserver. Delivered a null-check guard for vconn before TSVConnPPInfoGet, preventing potential null dereference crashes and improving runtime reliability under high-traffic and edge-case conditions. This fix reduces downtime risk in edge deployments and supports ongoing reliability initiatives for real IP handling.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for apache/trafficserver: Implemented Proxy ACL Subject IP Source Configuration to enable ACLs to derive client IPs from the Proxy Protocol header when available, configurable via proxy.config.acl.subjects. This feature required updates to documentation, header/core source files, and tests, and is backed by a focused commit. This accelerates accurate access control for Proxy Protocol-enabled deployments, reduces reliance on the default peer IP, and improves security and observability.
