Getting user's IP address in LC Server

Hi,

I am trying to make a web page that changes content a bit based 
on the user's location. I am using my on-rev hosting account and 
am trying two different service's APIs:

1) put "My country is" && url 
"https://api.ipdata.co/country_name?api-key=my/key"

2) put "curl https://api.ipgeolocation.io/getip" into IPvariable

But both of these return the info for Liquid Web LLC, the on-rev 
server company, not the info for me as I test the page in Tokyo.

What is a reliable way to get the user's IP address and or 
geolocation info from LC Server?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim Selander
