I don't know the answer for sure. But based on my limited knowledge be very aware. You might get a 192.168.1.15 which is a private address; within an ISP they will be unique; but you somewhere in the world using ispA and I in South Africa using ispB can have that same address. If your visitors visit the website from their work there is a good chance that they go through a proxy and you might get the address of the proxy instead of that of the user; and for all the users in that company you will get the same address. So it depends on your needs if it's useful or not.

Hello Sir I suspected in this response. So when I go to my online application I would get a more consistent as IP: 192.168.1.15? Or I have to make a convertion?
