I am trying to get the IP ADDRESS from my users, but as I search the web for ways to do this, I see that it’s not possible because an IP can be faked easily.
I wan’t the IP because I am creating an extraordinary application where there is no need to make a user, but you can still vote on some objects. I don’t want multiple votes from each “user”.
And now, how do I get the real IP Address? Is it even possible?
Or is there another way to keep the votes relatively “unique”?
The IP address can be faked, yes, but you also run into the more general problem of proxies and NAT where the end user may not have a “real” public IP. There’s nothing you can specifically do about that.
You’re going to have to find some way to do this without using IP addresses if you want it to be unique.
