  <p>I must have missed some fundamental thing here.. But when I navigate to an IP-displaying site such as <a href="http://www.whatsmyip.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.whatsmyip.org/</a> they show a certain IP. But when I echo out <code>$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]</code> on a page on my site it shows a different IP.</p>
  
  <p>Why is that? And how can I, through PHP, fetch the same IP that the whatsmyip.org site shows?</p>
