Django : Get user IP from development server

I'm trying to put the user IP in the page I send to the user. I've tried like explained here.

So my view looks like :

def yourip(request):
    return HttpResponse("Your IP is : %s" % request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'))

but request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR') returns None. Is it possible to do this from the development server? Or is the problem elsewhere?

Thank you.

In the development server, you can't get client IP so use Ngrok

Usage: ngrok http <your_development_server PORT>

Try this:

def get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
    if x_forwarded_for:
        print "returning FORWARDED_FOR"
        ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[-1].strip()
    elif request.META.get('HTTP_X_REAL_IP'):
        print "returning REAL_IP"
        ip = request.META.get('HTTP_X_REAL_IP')
    else:
        print "returning REMOTE_ADDR"
        ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    return ip
