How to get IP address in ASP.NET Core 8 MVC project

Question

I am creating an ASP.NET Core 8 MVC project and trying to fetch IP address with this code:

var remoteIpAddress = HttpContext.Connection.RemoteIpAddress;

But, the code throws an exception:

Address = 'remoteIpAddress.Address' threw an exception of type System.Net.Sockets.SocketException

Please help me to solve this.

I tried to update the code but I am not able to fix it.
