I am using this to get the IP of the visitor, I jsut wanted to know if I can also could get the hostname of the client :

@app.route('/',methods=['GET'])
def home():
    REAL_IP = request.environ.get('HTTP_X_REAL_IP', request.remote_addr)
    return render_template('home.html', REAL_IP=REAL_IP)

Note : I want to use python flask and not socket :

socket.gethostbyaddr("IP")

I actually want to know the name of the laptop client not the router or any material if NAT is in place.

  • You'll have to do a DNS reverse lookup for the IP. They may take several seconds though, so I would recommend against doing it in-request. – AKX Sep 10 '18 at 13:42
