I'm wondering how to identify the user's IP address so we can apply
tighter security. (MySQL allows you to restrict access by IP address.)
How do you get the person's true IP (and not just the internal
network IP)? Do you do a TraceRt and someone glean it from that?
What do you mean by "true IP"?
An internal network IP address is a genuine IP address. If
such a user can access the rest of the Internet, there will be an
outward-facing IP address (belonging to a router not the user) which
is used along with a port number (which changes for each Website
session), and this is tracked by the router. One of the names for
this is "IP masquerading".
