Resolve real client IP behind trusted proxies (closes #94)
check / check (push) Successful in 2m31s

RFC1918 ranges are the default trusted proxy set on an omitted key; an explicit list replaces the default; an explicit empty list trusts no one; unparseable values abort startup; forwarded headers honored only from trusted peers. Independent review passed: #127 (comment)
