How to use it with nginx reverse proxy?

[rohitkhatri]

The connection.remoteAddress is always 127.0.0.1 when using nginx reverse proxy.

I have the same issue here. I read that the only way to fix this is by using a cookie instead of the remoteAddress.

I think we can forward the client ip address from nginx reverse proxy settings

You may want to use the following to get the real IP of the client

const ip = req.headers["x-forwarded-for"] || req.connection.remoteAddress;

as the proxy (HAProxy in my case) sends the IP of the client on the header as "x-forwarded-for"

Where can we access the request object?
