Just note that the IP address is not authenticated and thus is untrusted.
Whether this matters or not depends on what you are doing with it.

There isn't a way to do this at the OpenSSL level.
Presumably you can retrieve the remote IP address if you have the
underlying socket? If so you can call BIO_get_fd() (which should really
be BIO_get_socket() ) to get it from the socket BIO. See the
BIO_s_socket manual page.
