Real IP and Host Header

why can't traefik have a way to easily get the real ip of user? Every other software/website i use in the world does this or is this a rocket science to implement?

As a reverse proxy, i think it is safe to say most people want this. So why have us waste so much time and energy for something that is widely needed??????

We have to drill into forwarded headers to figure this out ourselves? cloudflare for example passes this as response header with Cf-Connecting-Ip and am sure others have a way of passing this, so why can't traefik implement this that makes sense to be on traefik layer?
