I’m experiencing the problem that all of our users have 127.0.0.1 as last IP address. This issue was previously discussed here , here and <a href="https://www.google.ch/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0ahUKEwi4quut8IzPAhXEPRQKHaikBcMQFggoMAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.discourse.org%2Ft%2Fwhen-all-users-come-from-127-0-0-1-new-registrations-are-blocked%2F29533&usg=AFQjCNFyObczMTx30OCzlO0iJo1my8wRZw&sig2=7HX71niLWrMMee_TWl_54Q&bvm=bv.132479545,d.bGg&cad=rja" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">here , and all of these threads contain valuable input, but I still cannot get it to work.

We don’t use trusted_proxies in our hosted environment; we adjust the nginx config to set X-Real-IP directly, since, IIRC, the RemoteIp middleware prefers that over XFF. The pups exec stanza we use looks like this: - replace: filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf from: "types {" t…

Thanks for your feedback! I’m not sure if this specific workaround would help in our case, as all IPs involved are in 10.0.0.0/16 and would still be in RemoteIp’s TRUSTED_PROXIES list. Here’s the relevant code from Rails 4.2. Interestingly, X-Real-IP doesn’t appear anywhere there, only X-Forwarded-…

You might need to remove some address ranges from TRUSTED_PROXIES, by the sound of it.

I completely agree, that’s what I’m trying to do (see above) by setting config.action_dispatch.trusted_proxies in config/application.rb—its default value is TRUSTED_PROXIES. But for some reason this does not have the desired effect.

Does that setting perhaps add to TRUSTED_PROXIES, rather than override it?
