If you have the machine behind a proxy it is better to use this kind of code:

$ips = explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']); $ip =trim($ips[count($ips) - 1]);

You can use this one: Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr();

This will return ip address such as '127.0.0.1'

When you use Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr(true); it will return long (2130706433)

Here is a Magento function to get customer's IP Address:

echo Mage::helper('core/http')->getRemoteAddr();

getRemoteAddr() also accepts a boolean parameter. When false (default) it will return the IP address as a string in the common dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 192.168.0.1). When true it will return the IP in its decimal notation--a 32-bit integer. See IPv4 Address Representations to understand the formats.

When Magento (server) and the browser (client) are both on your computer (localhost), then it's not an error, but correct that PHP's $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] contains 127.0.0.1 (or ::1).

This is because 127.0.0.1 is the standard IPv4 loopback address for any localhost.

See section "3. Global and Other Specialized Address Blocks" of RFC 5735:

127.0.0.0/8 - This block is assigned for use as the Internet host loopback address. A datagram sent by a higher-level protocol to an address anywhere within this block loops back inside the host. This is ordinarily implemented using only 127.0.0.1/32 for loopback.
