Wrong Public IP address

[sunilame88]

Hello sir,,,

I have made a php page to display the public IP address of the user who'll open it...

www.sonuame.x10hosting.com/ip

previously it was showing correct public ip address but now its showing something different as compared to

www.whatismyip.org

i didn change the coding at all...

i need this cuz i usually run some sort of servers temporarily to transfer my files and pages...

why it so...???

They are currently going through a reverse proxy front end so that the Apache environmental variable

REMOTE_ADDR

turns out to be the IP address of the proxy instead of the visitor. Not sure if/when they can adjust that.

In the mean time, you can use either

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
HTTP_X_REAL_IP

which should be set and pointing to the visitor's IP.

Oops...

i think i have to give up the idea of displaying public IP..

its still showing the proxy ip..

69.175.121.66

and thats seriously not mine........
:frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown:

That is the IP from the proxy. This is something we're going to look into in the coming days. You can use what descalzo said above as a work around for now.
