Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/2727

I logged in with a new device on EU server.

Got email:

Your Bitwarden account was just logged into from a new device.

IP Address: 20.X.X.X

This is NOT my IP.

I'm not using a proxy or VPN.

I think this is the IP of the server that is hosting bitwarden EU.

Googled it and yes, I'm not the only one.

Not good. Just saying. Bitwarden is supposed to be highly secure and these kind of issues just doesn't make me feel at ease. An alert telling me a new device logged in, and it gives me the wrong IP. What am I supposed to think? Was it me? Or not? I'm screwed? Help!

Expected Result

My IP

Actual Result

Not my IP

Operating System

Android

To reproduce:

  1. Log in.
  2. Read the email you receive with subject: "New Device Logged In..." And see that the IP of this new login is not your IP.

A guy reported this over 4 years ago. Then the founder of Bitwarden solved the problem by adding a setting to just disable the new login alert emails. No I'm not joking. 🤦

And the guy said... Thanks! 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

Using apache as a reverse proxy, keep getting these for "172.19.0.1"

Setting either

        RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
        RemoteIPInternalProxy 172.16.0.0/12

or

        ProxyPreserveHost On

Yields no improvement.

Also yields no results (adding the IPv6 results in the 172.x being shown again):

real_ips: ['192.168.199.0/24', '172.16.0.0/12', '::ffff/48']
