Rails remote_ip always 127.0.0.2

Question

I am using rails 3. I want to get client ip. I am using this method: request.remote_ip and always getting 127.0.0.2. Why ? ( also tested on TorProject)

Answer 1

It would depend where you're testing from. If it's in production and you're trying this off of an external computer(that's not on the same network as the server) it should work. Otherwise yes, it should be some sort of proxy or gateway translating the address.
