Wow, tough room! In fairness to the OP the description of the plugin
(which I have also used for some time and like) does seem to indicate
that it is showing the IP address used to connect. I became suspicious
about that one day when I had my IPv6 off for testing and the plugin
was still showing IPv6. :)
