We have a Discourse installation, carried forward for several years but currently on the latest version (2.4.0beta2) using the latest Docker image, on a public IP address, no proxy or other things in front, LetsEncrypt certs.

Sometimes user registration IP and last IP works perfectly, sometimes it does not. I see no rhyme or reason. For example, here is a user created **7h** ago, with nonsense addresses:

 ![47](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/4/149152ab8979fee6be0da711edd9e7d7c3ea2bae.png)

Another user created **17h** ago is perfectly fine:

 ![53](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/d/1de56f6074d8950bdc079938e2e3c2602c78eda7.png)

And so it goes, on some users it’s cool on some others it isn’t. Any ideas what’s going on here?

One thing that strikes me now that I look at it is that it could be that these users are coming in via IPv6, as I’ve never seen an IPv6 address in these fields. Does Discourse not understand IPv6? Does the Docker proxy not understand/pass through the relevant information? Something else?
