how to get ip address of client using rails

You can get the IP address of a client using Rails by accessing the remote IP address from the request object. Here's how you can do it:

1. In your Rails controller, you can retrieve the client's IP address using the request object's remote_ip method. This method returns the IP address of the client that made the request to the server.

2. Here's an example of how you can use it in your controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :set_client_ip

  private
  def set_client_ip
    @client_ip = request.remote_ip
  end
end

1. In this example, we define a before_action callback in the ApplicationController to set the @client_ip instance variable using the request.remote_ip method.

By following these steps, you can retrieve the IP address of the client using Rails.
