func Get ¶

func Get(r *http.Request) (string, error)

Get returns real IP from the given request. It checks headers in the following priority order:

X-Real-IP - trusted proxy (nginx/reproxy) sets this to actual client
CF-Connecting-IP - Cloudflare's header for original client
X-Forwarded-For - leftmost public IP (original client in CDN chain)
RemoteAddr - fallback for direct connections

Only public IPs are accepted from headers; private/loopback/link-local IPs are skipped.
