Every IP address is 172.17.0.6 about django-admin-honeypot HOT 4 CLOSED

Having done some further research, it seems like it is potentially retrieving the IP address of the load balancer. The actual IP seems to be in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR rather than REMOTE_ADDR.

@alstr Hello! You'll need a middleware to assign the IP address. There's an example in the docs:

Ah yes, that should sort it. Thanks!

Hi Derek,

thanks for your work and time.

I was wondering if you can share a full example of this code and what I mean by that is to what exactly do we have to set in the middlewares section in settings?
Does this class (class RemoteAddrMiddleware(object)) have to be in views.py file or somewhere else?

Thanks,
Rainer
