Thanks: karim79 and Titanous.

Write the code in Controller

For Client IP:

request.remote_ip

@remote_ip = request.env["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]

For Server IP:

require 'socket'

def local_ip
  orig, Socket.do_not_reverse_lookup = Socket.do_not_reverse_lookup, true  # turn off reverse DNS resolution temporarily

  UDPSocket.open do |s|
    s.connect '64.233.187.99', 1
    s.addr.last
  end
ensure
  Socket.do_not_reverse_lookup = orig
end
