How do you track the IP Address?

[valgen]

Hi there,

Do you actually take into account X-Forwarded-For when trackingOptions ipAddress is set to true?

amplitude.init(AMPLITUDE_API_KEY, { trackingOptions: { ipAddress: true } });

If not, please can you tell me how to do so using the JS SDK?

@valgen - yes, we get the source ip address on the server side. When the ipAddress tracking option is set to false, we discard the ip address on the server side and don't convert it to city/country properties.

@izaaz Can you be more specific and tell me if you actually use X-Forwarded-For to make your best-effort attempt to discover the originating IP?

[izaaz]

Yes @valgen - yes, that header gets used to determine the origin ip.
