# Actix Remote IP extractor Tiny extractor of remote user IP address, that handles reverse proxy. The `X-Forwarded-For` header is automatically parsed when the request comes from a defined proxy, to determine the real remote client IP Address. Note : regarding IPv6 addresses, the local part of the address is discarded. For example, the IPv6 client `2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334` will be returned as `2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000` ## Configuration Configure it when you configure your Actix server: ```rust HttpServer::new(move || { App::new() .app_data(web::Data::new(RemoteIPConfig { proxy: Some("IP".to_string()) })) // ... }) ``` ## Usage In your route, add a `RemoteIP` parameter: ```rust #[get("/")] async fn home(remote_ip: RemoteIP) -> HttpResponse { let ip: IpAddr = remote_ip.0; // ... } ```
