 * Hi,
 * The IP adress detection is wrong. It gives 2 or more times a day that my IP address
   is not blocked for registration of traffic. Each time it gives a total new IP
   address while I check on whatismyip, its still the same.
 * What is going on?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwrong-ip-detection-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for using Independent Analytics.
 * We’re not aware of any bugs with the IP detection. When you check with whatismyip
   vs. the IP address shown in the **Analytics > Settings** menu, are you comparing
   both the IPv4 and IPv6? Is it possible that your router is using a dynamic IP
   address that is changing regularly?

 * It is showing now 104.23.166.103, yesterday evening it was 172.71.103.169. But
   whatismyip is saying all the time 80.115.140.225.
 * My router doesn’t use dynamic IP address.

 * Thank you for letting me know.
 * We’ve put together a modified copy of the plugin to help debug this. Please [download it from here](https://d.pr/f/7H0BEs)
   and install it on your site.
 * Once installed, please visit this menu on your site and share a screenshot of
   what you see: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=independent-analytics-debug
 * The menu will include the various properties we check to get the IP address, 
   and hopefully, one of those will return the same IP that you see when using whatismyip.

 * Okay thanks for letting me know. In this case, there must be something coming
   from the hosting or CDN that is modifying the IP address found. Could you reach
   out to us at [support@independentwp.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-ip-detection-2/support@independentwp.com?output_format=md)?
   We’ll need to discuss more sensitive site details that can’t be posted in the
   public forum.
 * Thank you!
