ASP.NET MVC : Get IP address of users

In this article I am going to explain how to get IP address of users using asp.net mvc.

Description:

I want to get the IP address of visitors.

Implementations:

Add controller

Add an empty controller to project. Create an actionresult to get IP address.

Complete code of controller

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Data;

using System.Data.Entity;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using mvctest2017.Models;

using PagedList;

using System.IO;

using System.Text;

namespace mvctest2017.Controllers

{

    public class EmployeeController : Controller

    {

        private DemoEntities db = new DemoEntities();

        //

        // GET: /Employee/

        public ActionResult Index()

        {

            return View();

        }

        public ActionResult GetIPAddress()

        {

            string ipaddress;

            ipaddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

            if (ipaddress == "" || ipaddress == null)

            ipaddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

            ViewBag.ipaddress = ipaddress;

            return View();

        }

     

    }

}

Add view

Add view for GetIPAddress action.

Complete source of view

@{

    ViewBag.Title = "ASP.NET MVC : Get IP address of users";

}

IP address of user is : @ViewBag.ipaddress

*Note: This will show IP address ::1 when you run this on localhost but when you deploy the application and upload it on server, it will be work perfectly.
