I'm using $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] to keep audit of unsecured pages (without login). Somehow from last two days it's behaving bit wierd.

Ex: If I access unsecured page, IP address which is inserted is having location at least 3000 Km's from my location (In fact outside the country from which I'm accessing). Note: I'm finding out ip address location using URL: http://whatismyipaddress.com/

Can you please help me to understand this?

Sample code is mentioned below 

INSERT INTO LOG_TABLE (SEQUENCE_ID,IP_ADDRESS, C_DATE) VALUES (NULL,'$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]',NOW())

  • Is it the correct IP? IP geolocation services are not always reliable. – Barmar Nov 03 '13 at 08:49
  • Are you sure it's not your own ip address? Are you using a reverse proxy? – tlenss Nov 03 '13 at 08:49
  • @Barmar ; No IP is not correct. It's different from the one given by whatismyipaddress.com – Pawan Mude Nov 03 '13 at 09:00
  • @tlenss ; yes i'm sure, its not my own ip address. I'm not using any proxy. – Pawan Mude Nov 03 '13 at 09:00
  • Show us some code... `REMOTE_ADDR` should always contain the requesting side's IP – tlenss Nov 03 '13 at 09:02
  • Are you sure the log message is for your connection, not someone coming from that other address? – Barmar Nov 03 '13 at 09:04
