Grab public IP address using Laravel

My current IP is : 24.62.137.161

and when I use

$ip = $request->getClientIp(); dd($ip);

I keep getting ::1

How can I grab 24.62.137.161 ? I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do if possible.

Any hints / suggestion will be much appreciated.

It is the expected result when you are in local environment (development mode). But when the app is running in production, you will get the public IP address that you want.

Summary base on your question:

  • In local: 127.0.0.1
  • In production: 24.62.137.161

You Can Try This

$ip_address = file_get_contents('https://api.ipify.org');
print_r($ip_address);

$ip = trim(shell_exec("dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com"));

dd("Public IP: ".$ip); //"Public IP: 24.62.137.161"
