Laravel Proxy
A Laravel package for configuring trusted proxies to ensure correct URL generation, redirects, and sessions behind load balancers.
What is Laravel Proxy?
Laravel Trusted Proxy is a PHP package that configures Laravel applications to correctly interpret HTTP requests when behind reverse proxies like load balancers or CDNs. It solves the problem of applications misidentifying client details (e.g., using proxy IPs instead of real client IPs) by properly trusting and reading X-Forwarded headers. This ensures accurate URL generation, redirects, sessions, and logging in production setups.
Laravel developers deploying applications behind load balancers, reverse proxies, or caching services (e.g., AWS ELB/ALB, Nginx, CloudFlare) who need correct client information handling.
Developers choose this package because it provides a simple, standardized way to configure trusted proxies in Laravel, eliminating common issues with URL generation and session handling in proxied environments. Its integration with Laravel's request handling and Symfony HTTP components offers reliability and security by allowing precise control over which proxies are trusted.
