Pass the request IP address to allowRequest()

Hi,

The allowRequest callback should have access to the IP address of the request (for example to allow only some IP addresses), but currently there doesn't seem to be any way to access it. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

The first argument of allowRequest is an IncomingMessage, so you should be able to get the IP address of the request with:

function allowRequest(req, next) {
  let ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
}
