Take customer ip address
Hello everyone. I am using Laravel 10 and Digital Ocean App Platform. I want to take user ip address. After that send ipinfo with api and take customer location and country. I am using $request->ip() however it always return me my server location. How can I fix this problem. I was try $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']

@Snapey Yes I use Cloudflare to and I found https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/http-request-headers/#cf-connecting-ip I think this is the problem. I will search and write here my solution, if there is no any solution

@onurzdgn If your site is behind a proxy then you need to tell your Laravel application to trust them: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/requests#configuring-trusted-proxies
Your Laravel app will then correctly determine if it’s running under HTTP or HTTPS, and also the end user’s IP address rather than the IP address of the proxy/load balancer in between your app and the user.
If you’re using Cloudflare, you also don’t need to use “ipinfo” to get the user’s country because Cloudflare will also send that in a CF-IPCountry header: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/http-request-headers/#cf-ipcountry
The
CF-IPCountryheader contains a two-character country code of the originating visitor’s country.
