That's a feature I would also really like.

I also use an intermediate server (ipify.org) to get the IP address. The only reason I need the IP address is to throttle users. If adjustable throttling was baked into the platform and not require me to write logic to handle it, that would be sweet too.

Is there anything you'd like to use the IP address for beyond throttling?

Not in my use cases.
