I want to read the value of the X-Forwarded-For header value in a request.
I've tried
HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers["X-Forwarded-For"].Split(new char[] { ',' }).FirstOrDefault(); in C#.
OR do I need to split the header by ":" and the take the second string? I am asking this because, Wikipedia says
The general format of the field is: X-Forwarded-For: client1, proxy1, proxy2

To check the X-Forwarded-For in action go to Inspect Element -> Network check the request header for X-Forwarded-For like below.
Go the HTTP > Configuration > X-Forwarded-For Header.To disable, select Disable from the drop-down list.
Bypassing the IP block The X-Forwarded-For header is usually set by a proxy, but it can also be added by an attacker. By adding his own X-Forwarded-For header, the attacker can spoof his IP address.
The X-Forwarded-Proto (XFP) header is a de-facto standard header for identifying the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) that a client used to connect to your proxy or load balancer.
The format that you get in return is client1, proxy1, proxy2
So you split it with the comma, and get the first to see the ip of your client.
