Django: request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'] is always '127.0.0.1'
django, http, python
Solution
Do you have any kind of proxy, gateway, or load balancer running on that remote host? That's the sort of thing that would cause connections to appear to be from 127.0.0.1 (because that's where the immediate connection is from, as far as the web server is concerned).
Problem
I have an application running with debug=True on a remote host somewhere. Now somehow every time I access REMOTE_ADDR it returns 127.0.0.1 no matter where the request is from. I'm not sure where to start and why this is happening.
