What i did to fix it is changing

"fideloper/proxy": "~3.3",

To

"fideloper/proxy": "~4.0",

In the composer.json file, ran $composer update and then in the TrustProxies.php file located at:

App\Http\Middleware\TrustProxies

I changed the protected headers from:

protected $headers = [
    Request::HEADER_FORWARDED => 'FORWARDED',
    Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_FOR => 'X_FORWARDED_FOR',
    Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_HOST => 'X_FORWARDED_HOST',
    Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_PORT => 'X_FORWARDED_PORT',
    Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_PROTO => 'X_FORWARDED_PROTO',
];

To

protected $headers = Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_ALL;

Method Illuminate\Http\Request::setTrustedHeaderName does not exist
