Question

I’m trying to set a page that displays the visitor’s IP. All the methods I have tried show an IP different from the IP my computer has. I’ve tried:

1. Looking up http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp

2. Using socket.getaddrinfo(socket.gethostname(), None)[0][4][0]

How can I find the real IP of the visitor?

Answer 1

I found a simple solution:

import getenv
print getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")

This will return the IP address of the computer connecting to the server.
