"Plack::Middleware::XForwardedFor" will look for "X-Forwarded-For" header in the incoming request and change "REMOTE_ADDR" to the real client IP

trust: If not specified then all addressed are trusted and "REMOTE_ADDR" will be set to the first IP in the "X-Forwarded-For" header.
If given, it should be a list of IPs or Netmasks that can be trusted. Starting with the IP of the client in "REMOTE_ADDR" then the IPs in the "X-Forwarded-For" header from right to left. The first untrusted IP found is set to be "REMOTE_ADDR"
