How to get client IP address in Laravel 5+

Question

I am trying to get the client\'s IP address in Laravel.

It is easy to get a client\'s IP in PHP by using $_SERVER[\"REMOTE_ADDR\"]. It is working fine

Answer 1

If you want client IP and your server is behind aws elb, then user the following code. Tested for laravel 5.3

$elbSubnet = '172.31.0.0/16';
Request::setTrustedProxies([$elbSubnet]);
$clientIp = $request->ip();
