HI,
Use the below without Proxy detection:
<%
    String ipaddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
%>
with Proxy detection:
<%
    if (request.getHeader("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") == null) {
        String ipaddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
    } else {
        String ipaddress = request.getHeader("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
%>
