I can see customer login success with two ip address  
ip → printing auth0-forwarded-for ip address.. of customer  
client\_ip → printing my IP aws ip address.

whats the diffference in ip and client\_ip?

I did this

1. enabled the forward-ip headers in tenant
2. passing auth0-forwarded-for header in api reqeust to login

Did some Internet research and found out that:

- **ip** - is your local IP address
- **client\_ip** - the ip the rest of the world sees

and those two are of course different as you’ve probably seen.
