http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php returns 127.0.0.1, breaks active mode connections

[salem]

hi guyz
i entered ​http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php
but shows 127.0.0.1
many people had this problem when using older versions of filezilla
but this is the newest !

For me it returns 127.0.0.1 every time. I've tried from many locations, different operating systems, and in different browsers. It affects both FZ client and server.

I know there are other ways to make sure you get the request origin's correct IP address, but 99% of the time

<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
die($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

is all you need. If that's not working, maybe you have a bad firewall situation. It's really annoying having to regularly do manual updates for active mode.

For others experiencing this issue, try ​icanhazip.com as a substitute.

Still exists, for the latest server version (0.9.40 beta), from any http client, from any OS I tried.

This problem also effects the creating of the passive mode connections.

I am not quite certain what the problem here is. You are talking about FileZilla Server? Can you please describe the problem in more detail?

Be aware of the following: "The FileZilla IP page will return the correct IP only to FileZilla products. All other connectors, including browsers, see only 127.0.0.1. This is to prevent third-party abuse of that service."
