Adds
Cf-Connecting-IP
to the list of headers to check for real client IP. This header is set by Cloudflare to have the real client IP address.https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/reference/http-request-headers/#cf-connecting-ip
Since we are already relying on cloudflare headers for device location and how ubiquitous Cloudflare has become it's a good idea to have support for it.
We cannot rely on
X-forwarded-for
when behind Cloudflare as well, since the order of the IPs listed by Cloudflare is not the order this library checks.Related Issue or Design Document
