Get real user IP with PHP Ratchet Web socket server

Question

I have been using PHP Ratchet with Stunnel for SSL. It's working well. But the problem is, I can't get users real IP address.

I already tried these

$conn->remoteAddress

and with this I am getting 127.0.0.1 (local address)

$conn->WebSocket->request->getHeader('X-Forwarded-For');

and with this I am getting nothing.

Any help!

I'm not familiar with Stunnel, but if this is the reason it's for sure a configuration thing. — modsfabio, May 04 '17 at 11:07
I'm not even using Stunnel and I'm getting the same issue. `$conn->remoteAddress` returns the server's address instead of the client. — Jimmy, Mar 10 '18 at 02:48

Or sometimes it's $conn->httpRequest->getHeaders()['X-Forwarded-For'][0].

This is really old, but I ran into it just now.

You're looking for $conn->WebSocket->request->getHeader('x-forwarded-for) or $conn->WebSocket->request->getHeader('x-real-ip').

See $conn->WebSocket->request->getHeaders() for the entire list.
