proxy-addr


Determine the address of a proxied request.

Forked from https://github.com/jshttp/proxy-addr to address https://github.com/jshttp/forwarded/pull/9.

Install

``sh
$ npm i @fastify/proxy-addr
`

API

`js
const proxyaddr = require('@fastify/proxy-addr')
`

$3

Return the address of the request, using the given trust parameter.

The trust argument is a function that returns true if you trust
the address, false if you don't. The closest untrusted address is
returned.

`js
proxyaddr(req, function (addr) { return addr === '127.0.0.1' })
proxyaddr(req, function (addr, i) { return i < 1 })
`

The trust argument may also be a single IP address string or an
array of trusted addresses, as plain IP addresses, CIDR-formatted
strings, or IP/netmask strings.

`js
proxyaddr(req, '127.0.0.1')
proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/8', '10.0.0.0/8'])
proxyaddr(req, ['127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0', '192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0'])
`

This module also supports IPv6. Your IPv6 addresses will be normalized
automatically (i.e. fe80::00ed:1 equals fe80:0:0:0:0:0:ed:1).

`js
proxyaddr(req, '::1')
proxyaddr(req, ['::1/128', 'fe80::/10'])
`

This module will automatically work with IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
as well to support node.js in IPv6-only mode. This means that you do
not have to specify both ::ffff:a00:1 and 10.0.0.1.

As a convenience, this module also takes certain pre-defined names
in addition to IP addresses, which expand into IP addresses:

`js
proxyaddr(req, 'loopback')
proxyaddr(req, ['loopback', 'fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1/64'])
`

* loopback: IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses (like ::1 and
127.0.0.1).
* linklocal: IPv4 and IPv6 link-local addresses (like
fe80::1:1:1:1 and 169.254.0.1).
* uniquelocal: IPv4 private addresses and IPv6 unique-local
addresses (like fc00:ac:1ab5:fff::1 and 192.168.0.1).

When trust is specified as a function, it will be called for each
address to determine if it is a trusted address. The function is
given two arguments: addr and i, where addr is a string of
the address to check and i is a number that represents the distance
from the socket address.

$3

Return all the request addresses, optionally stopping at the
first untrusted. This array is ordered from closest to furthest
(i.e. arr[0] === req.connection.remoteAddress).

`js
proxyaddr.all(req)
`

The optional trust argument takes the same arguments as trust
does in proxyaddr(req, trust).

`js
proxyaddr.all(req, 'loopback')
`

$3

Compiles argument val into a trust function. This function takes
the same arguments as trust does in proxyaddr(req, trust) and
returns a function suitable for proxyaddr(req, trust).

`js
const trust = proxyaddr.compile('loopback')
const addr = proxyaddr(req, trust)
`

This function is meant to be optimized for use against every request.
It is recommended that a trust function be compiled up-front for the
trusted configuration and passed to proxyaddr(req, trust) for each request.
