     * The "*" character is syntactic sugar
     * within TrustedProxy to trust any proxy
     * that connects directly to your server,
     * a requirement when you cannot know the address
     * of your proxy (e.g. if using Rackspace balancers).
     *
     * The "**" character is syntactic sugar within
     * TrustedProxy to trust not just any proxy that
     * connects directly to your server, but also
     * proxies that connect to those proxies, and all
     * the way back until you reach the original source
     * IP. It will mean that $request->getClientIp()
     * always gets the originating client IP, no matter
     * how many proxies that client's request has
     * subsequently passed through.
