Developer Request: Adding a Backend API to Retrieve Visitor IP Address

Collecting votes

Currently, there is no support for retrieving the visitor or member IP address in the backend when a request is made to a web method. While it is possible to obtain the IP address in a router, the IP retrieved on the server-side reflects the server's IP address rather than the correct visitor IP. This limits use cases that require accurate identification of the visitor's location or network information for server-side processing.

As an alternative, you can retrieve the IP address using the router on the browser side. However, this approach does not work consistently for backend operations where the visitor's IP address is essential.
