Laravel allow certain ip addresses

Comment

// If system bypas on proxy (E.g load balancer, nginx proxy, etc)
// X-FORWARDED-FOR
$remoteAddress = $request->header('X-FORWARDED-FOR');
// or 
$remoteAddress = $request->header('X-FORWARDED-FOR') ?? $request->header('REMOTE-ADDR');

// Default remote address
// REMOTE-ADDR
$remoteAddress = $request->header('REMOTE-ADDR');

$allowedAddresses = [
    '192.168.1.50',
    '192.17.1.50/24',
    '10.17.0.0/16',
];

if (!\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\IpUtils::checkIp($remoteAddress, $allowedAddresses)) {
    abort(403); // By security proposes, I use 404 (prevent bots)
}

// All right. Is allowed
