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 have multiple layer proxies just like CDN + Load Balancer.
Using Laravel Request::ip() function will get right-most proxy IP but not client IP.
You may try following solution.

app/Http/Middleware/TrustProxies.php

protected $proxies = ['0.0.0.0/0'];
