ASP.NET Method local access only

Question

I have a controller who gets a request.

I want to restrict it, so it is only locally.

I can't just restrict the web application to local access only, because it is only one particular method, that needs to be restricted.

How do i do that?

Thanks.

The question you need to ask yourself, and other people is how do you define a connection is local? — Callum Linington, Nov 07 '14 at 08:52
What sort of controller are you wanting to use, a MVC or WebApi controller? — AlexC, Nov 07 '14 at 09:18

if (!HttpContext.Current.Request.IsLocal)
{ 
    Response.Status = "403 Forbidden";
    Response.End();
}

you might want to use Response.Redirect

The question is tagged WebApi, this answer will only work on a MVC controller. WebApi controllers probably shouldn't access HttpContext. – AlexC Nov 07 '14 at 09:18

Check UserHostAddress

if(Request.UserHostAddress != "127.0.0.1" && Request.UserHostAddress != "::1")
{
    throw new HttpException(403, "Forbidden.");
}
