Send IP address from frontend using ReactJS to server NodeJS

Question

At present I am using WEBRTC for getting IP address from client side.

But I have issues with browsers like Internet Explorer etc. I don't want to hit other third party servers for getting IP.

Is there a way to get IP address from ReactJS without hitting third party servers.

Answer 1

You can make a request to your own nodejs server and reply with the IP address. that way 3rd party servers wont be involved.
