IP Display VB.NET - airplanejoe - Mar 22, 2014

How do you display someone's IP in VB.NET?

Like;

Your IP is:
[ IP HERE ]

Using web As New WebClient()
Dim ip As String = web.DownloadString("http://rstown.x10.mx/chat/getip.php")
Label1.text = ip
End Using

There are plenty of sites that dump the IP as text:

You could just do webclient.DownloadString()

EDIT: Geraldososa beat me to it. :(

Thanks guys! I needed it for a VPN program I am making - seems stupid but it really isn't. Thanks very much!

Uh, somehow it isn't working, It says "Type 'webclient' is not defined".

Could you help me out, please? I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition

Have you used my snipped or the one the other person posted? Because you would need to define the webclient.

Imports System.Net
Please don't make a vpn program if you don't know how to use a webclient.

This little snippet will store the users IP address inside the variable "ip".
