So I was checking on an account from a user we were having a problem with and there’s no registration IP for him. Just last IP address. What would cause this?

Do you use SSO or other alternative forms of login?
No we don’t. I don’t have anything else enabled.
Any weird reverse proxies or unusual things in front of Discourse?
Did they register, or were they invited?
I’ve just checked a new instance where the only other user right now was invited, and don’t see a registration IP either.
That install is pretty standard, no reverse proxy, Cloudflare or anything else like that in the mix.

Just confirmed it by inviting one more user and registering a third. Users who are invited don’t show a registration IP, the user who I registered by hand did. Hopefully that’s consistent with what @Garrick has experienced.
Would that make this a bug, or is the behavior expected for invited users? Registration IP is presumably for sockpuppet detection, whereas invited users are more trusted?

Yep, one more confirmation - no registration IP address for invited users.

Yeah thanks. I just checked and yes another member invited them. I don’t have any reverse proxies or anything in front of them.
