Description
Currently when using Nginx as a reverse proxy, go-ipfs seems list all peers connecting through the reverse proxy as `127.0.0.1` (`ipfs swarm peers`). I couldn't find a way to discover their *actual* IP address, which can be incredibly useful for tools like fail2ban. I'm hoping for go-ipfs to support RFC 7239 and/or the `X-Forwarded-For`, and/or `X-Real-IP` headers. These are documented quite well [here](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/forwarded/).
My apologies if I missed the feature!
