Remotely connect to .net core self hosted web api

Question

I have a simple .net core web api with one action:

[Route(\"[action]\")]
public class APIController : Controller
{
    // GET api/values
    [HttpGet]
    pu         


        

Answer 1

There is a more accurate way when there are multi IP addresses available on the local machine. Connect a UDP socket and read its local endpoint:

string localIP;
using (Socket socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, 0))
{
    socket.Connect("8.8.8.8", 65530);
    IPEndPoint endPoint = socket.LocalEndPoint as IPEndPoint;
    localIP = endPoint.Address.ToString();
}
