If you are developing and thus connecting local that's the IP you're probably connecting with to your local webserver.

Get Client IP address
Hello! Im a trying to get client IP address but it is returning only my localhost server address(127.0.0.1)
Here is my code:
public function ip(Request $request)
{
$ip= Request::getClientIp();
$data = Location::get($ip);
dd($data,$ip);
}
I have also tried this one:
public function ip(Request $request)
{
$ip= \Request::ip();
$data = Location::get($ip);
dd($data,$ip);
}
But im still getting the same result (127.0.0.7) which is my localhost address and not my Ip address.
Please I need help

It will get the client public IP. Run it on a live server and see the results. You'll see your own public IP pop up.

Lol. Your IP is 127 because youre local server is 127.
If you want to see your ISP's IP, you have to actually use it to connect to your local server
(public SHARE is another option.. etc)
