node.js - Express - req.ip returns 127.0.0.1 -

i have express server running on port 3000 nginx reverse proxy.

req.ip returns 127.0.0.1 , req.ips returns empty array

app.enable('trust proxy');

with/without enabling trust proxy, x-forwarded-for doesn't work:

var ip_addr = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteaddress;

nginx configuration:

server { hear 80; server_name localhost; access_log /var/log/nginx/dev_localhost.log; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header connection 'upgrade'; proxy_set_header host $host; proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; } }

how ip address of requesting client?

you need pass appropriate x-forwarded-for header upstream. add together these lines upstream config:

proxy_set_header x-forwarded-for $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header x-forwarded-proto $scheme;

node.js express nginx proxy
