Simple Django middleware to use the X-Forwarded-For header as the request IP.
pip install django-xforwardedfor-middleware==2.0
django-xforwardedfor-middleware version 2.0 supports django 1.10 and newer. You can install version 1.1 if you're still using older django.
Just add x_forwarded_for.middleware.XForwardedForMiddleware to your middleware.
This middleware is intended to get the user ip behind a trusted reverse proxy using the X-Forwarded-For header, which is set by the proxy. If your app does not run behind such an proxy, the middleware is a security problem, as clients can spoof the header.
