Solved Get player IP Address

Hello, I saw plugins like essentials has /seen (player) which shows the player IP address, how can I get the IP of a player, I already tried this but it shows "127.0.0.1" this isn't the real ip it just means localhost


this is the code i used

Code:

String ipaddress = playerToGet.getAddress().getAddress().getHostAddress().toString();

 

Well are you running this on an online server or on localhost?...

 

Yes, and since you probably used it on yourself, logging to your own server, it would show 127.0.0.1.

It was on my test server on my pc, mm Does that mean If i run it on a hosted server it will show real ip?
Not sure if thats what u meant

 

DarkBlood9000 If you join through 'localhost', it will show localhost (or 127.0.0.1, as you can see in your case), since you 'never leave your computer' network-wise. If you have to use an external IP ('hosted server'), it will show your real IP.

 

DarkBlood9000 Yes.
Of course getting the IP of yourself on local will generate 127.0.0.1, thats the actual IP of yourself connecting. Connect to a non-local server and it will give you the external IP.

 

Ok guys thanks for telling me!
