therealyou

hapi.js plugin for setting the request.info.remoteAddress and request.info.remotePort based on the X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Port headers

X-Forwarded-For

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For

The general format of the x-forwarded-for header is:

X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2

This plugin sets request.info.remoteAddress to the first value of the x-forwarded-for header if it is set.

For example, if the header was

'x-forwarded-for': '192.16.184.5, 192.16.184.6, 192.16.184.2'

then remote.info.remoteAddress would be set to 192.16.184.5

X-Forwarded-Port

This plugin sets request.info.remotePort to the value of the x-forwarded-port header

Usage

const Hapi = require('hapi');

const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection();

server.register(require('therealyou'), function (err) {

    // Assuming no err, start server

    server.start(function () {
        // ..
    });
});
