RealIp

Rack middleware to get client IP address on Heroku, extracted from our API service.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'real_ip', github: 'quipper/real_ip'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install real_ip

Usage

1. Mount RealIp rack middleware at the top of your Rack application's middleware stack.

Rack (config.ru)

require 'real_ip'
use RealIp

Rails (config/application.rb or config/environments/*.rb)

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.middleware.insert 0, 'RealIp'
  end
end

MyApp::Application.configure do
  config.middleware.insert 0, 'RealIp'
end

2. On your controller, use request.env['QUIPPER_REMOTE_ADDR'] to get the IP address
