Hello I am having a problem with my server where when someone visits my site it gets the router IP instead of their IP
This is the code I am using to get the IP Address

<html>
<head><title>IP Address Is</title></head>
<body>
<?=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];?>
</body>
</html>

I am unsure if my router is acting as a proxy or not but my visitors want to see their IP.

Thanks for help,
Mr. Gecko

If I am on an internal network and my connection point to the internet is a router that handles the connection, you are going to get my router's IP address, not mine.

Many routers can be configured to simply pass requests to your LAN server unmodified. See the "Port forwarding," "Setting up a DMZ," "Settings for LAN servers," or similarly-named sections of your router's documentation or Help pages.
