# frozen_string_literal: true # :markup: markdown require "ipaddr" module ActionDispatch # # Action Dispatch RemoteIp # # This middleware calculates the IP address of the remote client that is making # the request. It does this by checking various headers that could contain the # address, and then picking the last-set address that is not on the list of # trusted IPs. This follows the precedent set by e.g. [the Tomcat # server](https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50453). A more # detailed explanation of the algorithm is given at GetIp#calculate_ip. # # Some Rack servers concatenate repeated headers, like [HTTP RFC # 2616](https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2) requires. # Some Rack servers simply drop preceding headers, and only report the value # that was [given in the last # header](https://andre.arko.net/2011/12/26/repeated-headers-and-ruby-web-server # s). If you are behind multiple proxy servers (like NGINX to HAProxy to # Unicorn) then you should test your Rack server to make sure your data is good. # # IF YOU DON'T USE A PROXY, THIS MAKES YOU VULNERABLE TO IP SPOOFING. This # middleware assumes that there is at least one proxy sitting around and setting # headers with the client's remote IP address. If you don't use a proxy, because # you are hosted on e.g. Heroku without SSL, any client can claim to have any IP # address by setting the `X-Forwarded-For` header. If you care about that, then # you need to explicitly drop or ignore those headers sometime before this # middleware runs. Alternatively, remove this middleware to avoid inadvertently # relying on it. class RemoteIp class IpSpoofAttackError < StandardError; end # The default trusted IPs list simply includes IP addresses that are guaranteed # by the IP specification to be private addresses.
