since Safari updated to version 11 we can use WebRTC API. However, I'm trying to get the client IP address (local IP, i.e. 192.168.1.10) but there is no result.
The code I'm using is the one you can find in several guides. The same code works on Chrome and Firefox, which are compatibles with this API before than Safari. It's something like this:
/**
* Get the user IP throught the webkitRTCPeerConnection
* @param onNewIP {Function} listener function to expose the IP locally
* @return undefined
*/
function getUserIP(onNewIP) { // onNewIp - your listener function for new IPs
//compatibility for firefox and chrome
var myPeerConnection = window.RTCPeerConnection || window.mozRTCPeerConnection || window.webkitRTCPeerConnection;
var pc = new myPeerConnection({
iceServers: []
}),
noop = function() {},
localIPs = {},
ipRegex = /([0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]{1,3}){3}|[a-f0-9]{1,4}(:[a-f0-9]{1,4}){7})/g,
key;
function iterateIP(ip) {
if (!localIPs[ip]) onNewIP(ip);
localIPs[ip] = true;
}
//create a bogus data channel
pc.createDataChannel("");
// create offer and set local description
pc.createOffer().then(function(sdp) {
sdp.sdp.split('\n').forEach(function(line) {
if (line.indexOf('candidate') < 0) return;
line.match(ipRegex).forEach(iterateIP);
});
pc.setLocalDescription(sdp, noop, noop);
}).catch(function(reason) {
// An error occurred, so handle the failure to connect
});
//listen for candidate events
pc.onicecandidate = function(ice) {
if (!ice || !ice.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate || !ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex)) return;
ice.candidate.candidate.match(ipRegex).forEach(iterateIP);
};
}
// Usage
getUserIP(function(ip){
alert("Got IP! :" + ip);
});
I've been debugging and I figured out that ice.candidate is not defined, so there isn't any IP to iterate in code.
Any idea or alternative?
Thank you.
