ServerVariables[“REMOTE_HOST”] returns internal IP?

Question

Since changing my server hosting to a new provider (ovh), I don't manage to get the client's IP using a simple Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"] . It always returns 10.0.1xx.2xx (masked the exact value, don't know if that matters) which seems like an internal server IP to me.

Calling Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] and Request.ServerVariables["LOCAL_ADDR"] gives the same results.

The code is called from withing Global.asax if that is relevant.

Any idea ?

I've had same problem today with OVH.

Seems Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REMOTE_IP"] return the good ip
