NGINX shows the actual IP of the server when forwarding requests, How to prevent this?

From what you’ve posted, it looks like you’ve defined proxy_redirect twice, so I’d remove one.

That said, in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, make sure server_name_in_redirect is set to off if it’s defined. If it’s not defined, it defaults to off, so you don’t need to specifically add it.

For your proxy configuration, I’d recommend using this:

proxy_buffers 16 32k;
proxy_buffer_size 64k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_pragma $http_authorization;
proxy_connect_timeout 59s;
proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504 http_404;
proxy_no_cache $http_pragma $http_authorization;
proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding '';
proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header Proxy '';
proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Original-Request $request_uri;

So your location block would actually look like:

location / {
    proxy_buffers 16 32k;
    proxy_buffer_size 64k;
    proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_pragma $http_authorization;
    proxy_connect_timeout 59s;
    proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
    proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504 http_404;
    proxy_no_cache $http_pragma $http_authorization;
    proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
    proxy_read_timeout 600;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_send_timeout 600;
    proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
    proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding '';
    proxy_set_header Cookie $http_cookie;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header Proxy '';
    proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Original-Request $request_uri;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:7000;
}
