Does not detect IP Client

[mcolominas]

• Octane Version: 1.0.11
• Laravel Version: 8.57.0
• PHP Version: 8.0.10
• Server & Version: Swoole 4.7.1

Description:

When using Request::ip() and request()->ip() to get the client's ip, it returns the ip 127.0.0.1. I want to clarify, that laravel is running on a server with an associated domain, not on a local machine.

Steps To Reproduce:

routes/web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    dd(Request::ip()); // "127.0.0.1"
});

Are you using a reverse proxy like Nginx in front of Laravel Swoole?

[mcolominas]

I'm using apache2, this is the configuration

<VirtualHost *:443>
...
ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8082/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8082/

    RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
    RemoteIPTrustedProxy 127.0.0.1
...
</VirtualHost>

Sorry for the inconvenience, I have managed to fix it, I put the solution here in case someone else also happens the same.

The problem was that the proxy ip (127.0.0.1) was not set in the TrustProxies middleware.

This can be a common mistake among newbies who have never used a proxy, as the tutorials do not say anything about this middleware.

For anyone that want to know where to edit, here is the location, app\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies.php :D
