The problem with empty HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is because of anonymous proxy servers:
Anonymous - HTTP Proxy server does not send HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variable to host, this improves
privacy since your IP address cannot be logged.
High anonymity - HTTP Servers of this type dont send HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, HTTP_VIA and
HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION variables. Host doesnt even know you are using proxy server an of course it
doesnt know your IP address.
