Request.IsLocal property implements the following code :

public bool IsLocal { 
            get {
                String remoteAddress = UserHostAddress; 

                // if unknown, assume not local
                if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(remoteAddress))
                    return false; 

                // check if localhost 
                if (remoteAddress == "127.0.0.1" || remoteAddress == "::1") 
                    return true;
 
                // compare with local address
                if (remoteAddress == LocalAddress)
                    return true;
 
                return false;
            }
