  Hello,

  my WordPress is installed on a Server, not local.

  When I login to my WordPress, my user IP is always 172.xx.xx.xx.
  Even other users have the same IP.

  How can I Change this, so that the real IP is shown?

  Thanks in advance
  Martin

  Can you confirm your complete website address starting from https://

  From your problem statement, it looks like your site is using self-hosted WordPress.org on an external hosting provider. This support channel handles assistance to WordPress.com hosted sites only and the guidance provided here won’t be relevant to WordPress.org sites hosted with an external hosting provider.

  You can try to get some help in the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ or contact the support team of your hosting provider to seek help solving your problem.

  WordPress.org and WordPress.com are different and it can be little confusing; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
