So, here are the code snippets in ASP.NET that first check for an IP addresses that's forwarded from behind a proxy, and if there's none then just get the IP address. here's the same IP retriever with proxy detection in .NET, but in VB.NET

Dim nowip As String 
   nowip = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") 
   If nowip = "" Then
       nowip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
   End If
