It’s hard to defend an absolute statement like “never”, since software has bugs. However, if the system is recording _any_ IP incorrectly it is very probably recording _every_ IP incorrectly. That is, the failure mode will be completely wrong and not just occasionally wrong. The geographic location shown is just a best guess, so don’t rely on that. A match of the actual IP address recorded (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), though, is definitely suspicious. As @pfaffman mentions, there are plausible reasons for two accounts to match sometimes. Once you cross an ocean like Account 3 and 4 did, then it stretches a bit too far to be believed. Given matching IP addresses, #2 is the WAY more likely of the two options. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-last-ip-ever-reported-incorrectly/121328)._
