Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
X-Forwarded-For header insertion
Why this is correct
Enabling X-Forwarded-For ensures the backend server sees the real client IP.
- ✗
HTTP compression
Why it's wrong here
Compression reduces payload size, not metadata.
- ✗
SSL session resumption
Why it's wrong here
This is for performance, not IP preservation.

Source IP NAT
Why it's wrong here
SNAT masks the source IP, making it harder for the backend to identify the client.
