A Laravel package that configures trusted proxies so applications behind load balancers or reverse proxies correctly interpret X-Forwarded headers. It enables proper URL generation, redirects, session handling, and logging when requests pass through intermediaries like Nginx, HAProxy, ELB, CloudFlare, or Varnish.

Use cases

• fix incorrect URLs and redirects in Laravel behind a load balancer
• trust X-Forwarded-For headers from a known proxy IP
• handle sessions correctly when behind CloudFlare or Varnish
• get the real client IP in Laravel behind a reverse proxy
• make Laravel respect X-Forwarded-Proto for HTTPS detection
• configure trusted proxies for ELB or HAProxy

When to choose

• you run Laravel 4 through 8 behind a load balancer, CDN, or reverse proxy
• your Laravel app generates wrong URLs or sees the proxy IP instead of the client IP

When to avoid

• you use Laravel 9 or newer, which has trusted proxy support built into the framework
• your application is not Laravel/Symfony-based
