I'm absolutely tearing my hair out trying to fix our "What is my IP Address" tool! For the past few hours, our tool is suddenly displaying incorrect public IP address information for users. Instead of accurately showing the user's actual public IP, it's returning what looks like a data center IP or a completely random one, which totally defeats the purpose of the tool.

I've been going through all the usual troubleshooting steps. I've verified our API calls to several third-party IP detection services, making sure the requests are formatted correctly and the responses are being parsed as expected. I've also thoroughly checked our server logs for any obvious errors or connection issues that might be causing this. I even attempted switching to a completely different geo-location API provider, thinking it might be an issue with our primary service, but the problem persists. Our backend logs are showing this specific error whenever we try to fetch the client IP:

[ERROR] 2023-10-27 14:35:01 - IP_FETCH_FAILED: Unable to resolve client IP. Using fallback: 192.0.2.1
This is absolutely critical for our tool's core functionality, and I'm completely stuck on why it's happening all of a sudden. Has anyone faced a similar problem with their IP detection logic or third-party IP services recently?
