How can IP from HTTP.NET help me?
IP from HTTP.NET lets you easily and accurately establish the IP address of visitors to your website. With this information, your web site can then respond appropriately (e.g. restrict access to critical areas, log usage etc.)
How is this different to what's already built in to ASP.Net
There are several ways that you can use built in .Net objects to attempt to determine an IP address. Unfortunately, none of these built in methods are accurate when dealing with web requests coming through proxy servers.
Our component has built in awareness of the issues that proxy servers can cause. In most cases, our component can “see through” proxy servers to get the actual host IP address.
How accurate is IP from HTTP.NET?
Historically, we have seen around 99% accuracy in determining IP address. No method can be 100% accurate when running over HTTP due to the possibilities of “Non Standard” proxy servers. However, we believe that our component gives the most accurate results possible.
