Cannot determine client's IP address

[vporton]

"For the unique (and live) visitor functionality to work properly, each request must have the User-Agent and X-Client-IP-Address HTTP headers set. If you don't set these headers, the API will still work, but the unique visitor count will be incorrect."

X-Client-IP-Address is non-standard. Browsers don't provide it.

You can use this instruction how to get IP address (when there is no X-Client-IP-Address) if you don't know how. Particularly, you can write code like:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/get-ip', (req, res) => {
    const ip = req.headers['x-forwarded-for'] || req.connection.remoteAddress;
    res.json({ ip });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.set('trust proxy', true); // <-- add this line. This tells Express to look for client IPs in the x-forwarded-for header if present

app.get('/get-ip', (req, res) => {
const ip = req.ip; // Now req.ip handles proxies correctly
res.json({ ip });
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Server running on port 3000');
});
