Get IP Address During Registration
I am trying to get IP address during registration and i did this
'ip_address' => $request->ip()
But it saves as 172.21.0.1 i would like to confirm if this because i am using sail/localhost because that is not my actual IP
Is it possible that when i deploy this application it will use the actual IP address?
Also is there a package to get Browser details and Machine details??

@Snapey So the package worked for knowing browser and machine details but i haven't seen any package for the IP though

@monstajamss you get the ip direct from the request, s you had been doing
remember
- all the people in the same office will have the same ip
- all the family in one house will have the same ip
- people connecting via mobile networks will have a different ip every time
- people might connect from home today, coffeeshop tomorrow
- they might be on an ipv6 network
