Get the real ip address of a user with coldfusion - coldfusion

Question

The only variables I found relating to a user's IP were the following:
<cfif #CGI.HTTP_X_Forwarded_For# EQ "">
<CFSET ipaddress="#CGI.Remote_Addr#">
<cfelse>
<CFSET ipaddress="#CGI.HTTP_X_Forwarded_For#">
</cfif>
Are there any other ways to check for a real ip address in coldfusion ?

The code you have is already doing a decent job looking for the "best known" client IP address. Here is the over engineered code I use in my projects:
public string function getClientIp() {
local.response = "";
try {
try {
local.headers = getHttpRequestData().headers;
if (structKeyExists(local.headers, "X-Forwarded-For") && len(local.headers["X-Forwarded-For"]) > 0) {
local.response = trim(listFirst(local.headers["X-Forwarded-For"]));
}
} catch (any e) {}
if (len(local.response) == 0) {
if (structKeyExists(cgi, "remote_addr") && len(cgi.remote_addr) > 0) {
local.response = cgi.remote_addr;
} else if (structKeyExists(cgi, "remote_host") && len(cgi.remote_host) > 0) {
local.response = cgi.remote_host;
}
}
} catch (any e) {}
return local.response;
}
