How to get private client IP address in Microsoft Edge browser using Javascript?

In Microsoft Edge browser, you can use JavaScript to get the private client IP address using the WebRTC API. Here's an example code snippet:
javascriptfunction getPrivateIPAddress() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
pc.createDataChannel("");
pc.createOffer()
.then(offer => pc.setLocalDescription(offer))
.catch(error => reject(error));
pc.onicecandidate = event => {
if (event.candidate && event.candidate.candidate) {
const ipAddress = event.candidate.candidate.split(" ")[4];
resolve(ipAddress);
}
};
});
}
// Usage
getPrivateIPAddress()
.then(ipAddress => console.log("Private IP address:", ipAddress))
.catch(error => console.error("Error:", error));
When you call the getPrivateIPAddress()
function, it returns a promise that resolves with the private IP address. Note that the code snippet uses a Promise
to handle the asynchronous nature of the WebRTC API.
Please keep in mind that the WebRTC API may not work in all environments or network configurations, and the returned IP address may not always be accurate due to NAT, proxies, or other network setups.
