Description
I'm running a klein based app behind a [nginx] reverse proxy which sets the various X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-* headers. Klein doesn't automaticall seem to pick up on those, as the client IP logged is always the IP of the reverse proxy.
I saw there is https://werkzeug.palletsprojects.com/en/2.3.x/middleware/proxy_fix/ available for werkzeug, but I was unable to figure out how to use it. if I say something like
app = ProxyFix(my_klein_app, x_for=1, x_host=1)
app.run()
then the proxyFix of course doesn't offer the same run method like Klein.

Research direction
Start with the Klein application object represented by my_klein_app and its app.run() entry point, then compare that integration with Werkzeug's ProxyFix documentation. Determine and document the supported way to process nginx's X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-* headers without losing Klein's startup behavior; done means the client IP is logged correctly behind the reverse proxy.
