The reason why use this trick is to determine the ip for the server of a XenForo CMS and bypass cloudflare or any DDOS protection. The user uses a ip logger in combination with the Preview Thread feature of XenForo to log the ip. This ip is the direct ip to the server without protection.

Keep in mind that this feature can be used to determine the location for a server even if the admin has strict rules to hide it’s true location (May work with TOR/Onion addresses, but i don’t have any at hand to test).
