Is there any way that I can get the real external IP of the visitor when proxy software's enabled on his...

I am using this
HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
and it returns me the exact public ip of the user that's visiting my website but it doesn't work if Proxy software i.e. Zenmate, VPNTunnel etc is enabled on visitors' system. In that case, how to get PUBLIC/External/Original ip of the visitor, not the vpn's?

FYI VPN != Proxy. Proxy servers, depending on their configuration (transparent vs anonymous vs highly anonymous) will sometimes send the client IP in headers such asX-Forwarded-For. With a VPN, that becomes your network connection, so it's like you're browsing the Internet from the provider's IP address.

If someone is using a proxy server or VPN, that is their public, external IP address. What other IP address are you looking for?

@JohnWu: A person sitting in US, using proxy is getting the IP address of Germany.... How I am supposed to get the address he's actually assigned in US?

@JohnWu the original requestor of a call that did pass-through the proxy - so obviously any proxy on the request path should/will modify his originating IP address. I want the non-modified one,

I'll say it again: Zenmate and VPNTunnel are not proxy servers. They are virtual private network providers, and that's an entirely different technology. Your current question is like asking how to fill up your Tesla car with petrol/gasoline. If I set up a VPN server on my router at home, and connect to it from another country, routing all of my traffic through it, it becomes like I am on my home network. The IP address displayed is my usual external IP, not the other country IP. In short: what you're asking is impossible. The best you can do is block VPN nodes that you're aware of.
