# IP-Address

## `this.package.ip` Variable

The `this.package.ip` variable provides access to the **client’s IP address** within the server-side variable runtime in JENTIS.

***

### Purpose

This variable is used to retrieve the **IP address of the user** making the request. It can be used for:

* **Geolocation purposes**
* **Enrichment logic**
* **Traffic analysis**

***

### Anonymization

> **By default**, the **last octet of the IP address is anonymized** to ensure privacy compliance and data minimization.\
> For example:\
> `123.123.123.84` → `123.123.123.1`

***

### Variable Definition

| Property          | Description                            |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Variable Name** | `this.package.ip`                      |
| **Type**          | `string`                               |
| **Scope**         | Available in **server-side variables** |
| **Default Value** | Anonymized IP (e.g., `123.123.123.1`)  |

***

### Example Usage

```js
async function() {
    var x = this.package.ip; // e.g., "123.123.123.1"
    return x;
}
```

In this example, the variable retrieves the user's IP address and returns it. This value can then be used in further logic or sent to a third-party endpoint if needed.

***

### Notes

* You do **not need to request or calculate the IP manually** — it’s automatically populated by the JENTIS server.
* The default anonymization helps ensure compliance with **data privacy regulations** like GDPR.

***

### Summary

`this.package.ip` gives you access to a user's IP address in a privacy-conscious way, making it a useful building block for geo-based logic, analytics enrichment, and other server-side tracking scenarios within JENTIS.
