Are IP addresses actually considered "personal data"? They are how computers talk to each other. Anonymizing them doesn't make any sense to me.

They're anonymized for things like logs. When the computers aren't talking to each other, the reasons to know the exact IP address are rather minimized. If you feel you have a real need to do so, then you just need to inform your users what you're doing.
