I used code below to get client ip with asp.net before but after I moved to VDS this function begin returning only my subnet mask which is 178.18.198.1 or 178.18.198.2. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Private Function GetIPAddress() As String
Dim sIPAddress As String = Nothing
sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(sIPAddress) Then
sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
End If
Return sIPAddress
End Function
EDIT
Found similar problem here:
Have deployed many 2008 32 bit standard web servers using the citrix netscaler isapi (the netscaler being a load balancer), in all cases the client IP address is logged in the standard IIS logs. On a new project I was asked to deploy 2008 R2, configured IIS 7.5 identically with how I configured IIS 7.0 in the past, this time however the client ip is returning the load balancer address in the logs. Here is the weird part, I installed "advanced logging" and it is showing the client IP address properly, so the isapi is doing its job. Have googled this one to death and could use some advice.
I also found ISAPI Filter module but cannot make it work: devcentral.f5.com/x_forwarded_for_log_filter_for_windows_servers
