You can get IP in a controller by calling request.remote_ip

This will work as well.

request.ip

EDIT

request.ip is ip detection method provided by Rack::Request. It looks at the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header and picks the last one from the list.

request.remote_ip

request.remote_ip is an interpretation of all the available IP address information and it will make a best-guess. If you access the variables directly you assume responsibility for testing them in the correct precedence order. Proxies introduce a number of headers that create environment variables with different names.
