Question

I’m following solution
which is described here

my controller in mvc3 is decorated with custom FilterIP attribute like this

 //Admin/Device/Edit/1
    [FilterIP(
            ConfigurationKeyAllowedSingleIPs = "AllowedAdminSingleIPs",
            ConfigurationKeyAllowedMaskedIPs = "AllowedAdminMaskedIPs",
            ConfigurationKeyDeniedSingleIPs = "DeniedAdminSingleIPs",
            ConfigurationKeyDeniedMaskedIPs = "DeniedAdminMaskedIPs"
    )]
    public ActionResult Edit(int Id).... ommiting

and in Web.config I’m having these values inside appSettings

 <appSettings>
  <add key="AllowedAdminSingleIPs" value="89.111.212.141"/>
  <add key="AllowedAdminMaskedIPs" value="10.2.0.0;255.255.0.0"/>
  <add key="DeniedAdminSingleIPs" value=""/>
  <add key="DeniedAdminMaskedIPs" value=""/>
 </appSettings>

Now, I’m using http://www.whatismyip.com/
to discover my current ip (cause I’m having dynamic ip from isp).
As far as I know this should work after I use my ip inside
.
89.111.212.141 is my isp dynamic ip. But it doesnt work.

What can be a problem ?
I’m constantly redirected to login when reacing decorated controller action.
Just to mention, when using localhost as a AllowedAdminSingleIPs it is working.

If you have hosted your application locally (VS built-in web server) and accessing it locally chances are your IP is 127.0.0.1 as returned by httpContext.Request.UserHostAddress. Try debugging the code by placing breakpoints in order to see what’s going on.
