Rails 3 - getting and comparison of IP address

I found through google my IP address and now I try to make a redirect based on the IP address.

To the HomeController#index I set followings:

unless request.remote_ip.to_s == '1.2.3.4'
    redirect_to 'http://www.some_page.com'
    return
end

But this doesn't works, because I am always redirected on the *some_page.com*... What I am doing wrong?

Are you trying this on a local machine? Then your "remote IP" from the server's point of view would always be 127.0.0.1, not your external IP.

Anyways, see what request.remote_ip is actually returning. Maybe it'll shed some light.
