Currently I am using Request.ServerVariables[“REMOTE_ADDR”] to get the IP from the client.
What guarantees I get when calling this Method. Or should I look in other ServerVariables as well?
Found some really neat information on retrieving the client’s IP address here.
Essentially, you should probably also pay attention to the
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")as well. This helps to identify the actual IP address if the end user is going through a proxy whereas theREMOTE_ADDRattribute would be the address of the proxy…unless it is an anonymous proxy in which case, you would still just get the proxy address.
