there are some shortcomings of the http protocol. If there is no proxy the address is in request.env.remote_addr If there is a proxy the addresses been proxied are in request.env.http_x_forwarded_for
But you do not know if there is a proxy in between you and the client. web2py looks in both tries to figure out it and stored the best guess for client address in request.client. Problem. request.env.http_x_forwarded_for can be spoofed thus request.client may be spoofed too. This is not a web2py problem. This is a problem of the HTTP protocol.
