Thanks for your and @itopz responses !

Last questions:

1. will I see users real IP in the server ? will max IP limit apply ?

2. will user see real server IP address, or only proxy one ?

I would highly suggest something here, well there are tons of ways to proxy something right? The only problem obviously is that the Real IP of the user is not being forwarded to the client.

Install the nginx proxy manager:
https://nginxproxymanager.com/
It's easy especially using docker (i do prefer docker), why docker? Because using docker even if something is broken or you just don't know what you do in the configuration or anything damaged, don't worry just docker ps -a find your docker id docker stop id then docker rm id and start the process all over again. 

So using nginx proxy manager you can proxy anything, tcp/udp http/https, now that you've a control panel which is easy to use and you can to lot of thinks, so regarding the ip address of the user, well potentially speaking, using nginx you can give pretty much any header modify anything before you send it to the client, so because i don't know how lineage 2 client gets the ip address, if you use wireshark and see the way you could just modify that header or packet using nginx configuration then magically the ip of the user will appear correctly, but you could also try from the source at the server side to change the ip variable to x-forwarded-for or x-real-ip whatever fits it, then you just modify using nginx the header and theoretically it should be fine.

I hope this is useful tool and maybe make some people love it, i mean c'mon we're at 2024 there are billions of ways to proxy.
