Error in production about slowapi HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @juanretamales I suspect this is a problem with your code, where File "/home/ubuntu/proyect/api/env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/slowapi/util.py", line 21, in get_remote_address Oct 25 20:16:46 gunicorn[12540]: return request.client.host or "127.0.0.1" Oct 25 20:16:46 gunicorn[12540]: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'host' is the key point:

request.client is None in your execution, I don't think this has anything to do with slowapi.

from slowapi.

i search and the problem is when you use gunicorn (here has the problem), i suggest any method or option for skip the error when appears.

Hi @juanretamales
If I'm not wrong, this error happens when your application is running behind a proxy such as nginx (maybe gunicorn as well).
You should make sure you correctly proxy the headers at the proxy level.

from slowapi.

Here is an example configuration that should do the trick, if you use nginx

proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

EDIT: also with this, for security reason you should add some middleware (for example this one from starlette) to avoid your clients forging their host/ip

@juanretamales did the comment above help? if so can you close this issue?
