TL;DR

KEP-1860 introduced a new field service.status.loadBalancer.ingress[].ipMode: VIP | Proxy to indicate the behavior of the Load Balancer.

Currently users on IPVS-based networking setups can not access the Load Balancer IPs when they enable PROXY protocol.

Expected behavior

Users should always be able to access their services from inside of the cluster, even if they use IPVS and PROXY protocol.

IIUC we should set the IP Mode to Proxy for the IPs we return in the status.

Would be fantastic if this could be implemented!

I have been banging my head against the wall for quite a bit of time when running into this issue. It results in rather strange/unexpected behaviour in the cluster. Would be a BIG help if this status field could be added to prevent others from wasting time when trying to trace this issue.

### Feature Highlights &amp; Upgrade Notes

#### Load Balancer IPs set to Private IPs

If networking support is enabled, the load balancer IPs are now
populated with the private IPs, unless the
`load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/disable-private-ingress` annotation is set
to `true`. Please make sure that you configured the annotation according
to your needs, for example if you are using `external-dns`.

#### Provided-By Label

We introduced a the label `instance.hetzner.cloud/provided-by`, which
will be automatically added to all **new** nodes. This label can have
the values `cloud` or `robot` to distinguish between our products. We
use this label in the csi-driver to ensure the daemonset is only running
on cloud nodes. We recommend to add this label to your existing nodes
with the appropriate value.

- `kubectl label node $CLOUD_NODE_NAME
instance.hetzner.cloud/provided-by=cloud`
- `kubectl label node $ROBOT_NODE_NAME
instance.hetzner.cloud/provided-by=robot`

#### Load Balancer IPMode Proxy

Kubernetes KEP-1860 added a new field to the Load Balancer Service
Status that allows us to mark if the IP address we add should be
considered as a Proxy (always send traffic here) and VIP (allow
optimization by keeping the traffic in the cluster).

Previously Kubernetes considered all IPs as VIP, which caused issues
when when the PROXY protocol was in use. We have previously recommended
to use the annotation `load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/hostname` to
workaround this problem.

We now set the new field to `Proxy` if the PROXY protocol is active so
the issue should no longer appear. If you only added the
`load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/hostname` annotation for this problem, you
can remove it after upgrading.

### Features

- **service**: Specify private ip for loadbalancer (#724)
- add support &amp; tests for Kubernetes 1.31 (#747)
- **helm**: allow setting extra pod volumes via chart values  (#744)
- **instance**: add label to distinguish servers from Cloud and Robot
(#764)
- emit event when robot server name and node name mismatch (#773)
- **load-balancer**: Set IPMode to &#34;Proxy&#34; if load balancer is
configured to use proxy protocol (#727) (#783)
