Who's online IP doesn't match server log IP address
More out of curiosity/understanding on my part than a problem.
From where does the Who's Online obtain the displayed IP address, since it doesn't always match server logs.
I occasionally see IP addresses in the
10.x.x.x and 127.0.0.x ranges
Example today is:
Who's online display
127.0.0.1
Session ID: 9dc276d417864f6d4c999711252d1b71

Actual server log for these who's online displays
143.85.76.18
zenid=590f23c9fd252b33fa7596cc39f66905
