README

This Laravel package helps to determine the IP address and current country of the client when using CloudFlare.

Installation

From the command line, run:

composer require sumanion/laravel-cloudflare

Available Methods

• SumanIon\CloudFlare::isTrustedRequest():bool - Returns true when current request is coming from CloudFlare, otherwise returns false.

• SumanIon\CloudFlare::onTrustedRequest(Closure):mixed - Executes the Callback and returns it's return value when current request is coming from CloudFlare, otherwise returns null.

• SumanIon\CloudFlare::ip():string - Returns current IP address of the client.

Note: When a website is using CloudFlare nameservers the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] points to CloudFlare, and we have to do extra validation to get "the real" IP address of the client.

• SumanIon\CloudFlare::country():string - Returns current country of the client.

Note: CloudFlare usually sends a CF_IPCOUNTRY HTTP header with current country of the client.
