Real ip address

[west tiger]

Is there a way to see real ip address of the originating connection to my web service? Maybe via a header? Normally I just see internal ip addresses

[dapper dune]

You could check x-forwarded-for maybe on the header. I’m also interested since I needed to check an ips for my websocket connections to prevent users from abusing my system

I’d just deploy a simple api and log all the headers you receive, you might see an ip listed in it

[pallid crag]

the header for the real IP is X-Forwarded-For
