Obtain real Remote ADDR to peer

Question

I use development Heroku account, and wrote simple web application. When I try to obtain RemoteAddr from the HTTP Request, I get IP: 10.151.38.13:47253, which is private address, and not my IP address shown from www.whatismyipaddress.com for example. I understand that there is some proxy, relaying web traffic, but is it possible to get the real IP address. Thank you.

No. The IP address will change and can't be guaranteed. Use a domain name. If you really need a static IP address, check out the proximo add-on.
