How is anonymous IP collected?

Is this data only gathered when a lead anonymously visits a munchkin'd webpage? Or could this be collected by email engagement?

I'm trying to determine potential IP blocks, and this data would be valuable to see, for example, if 8 people hard bounced from the same company might be based in the same office.

Hi Kim,

It is collected by the munchkin API and is the IP address of the company's gateway, not the individual computers.

It has nothing to do with email delivery.

A while ago, when we could access the anonymous lead, most of them had an anonymous IP and most of the web personalisation solutions that work on anonymous leads work from the IPs.

I do not think that even the presence or not of the SSL protocol on your LP's has an impact, but @Sanford Whiteman​ will be able to confirm this.

Hi, we are just trying to print out the anonymousIP and inferredCompany/company fields and nothing prints out. It only works when someone fills out a form or already has a cookie. What do we have to do to get that field?

You can't have that information until Munchkin has seen the lead first, by definition. Having someone's email address doesn't give you their (or ​one ​of their) IP address(es).

Is a form submission necessary? Isn't anonymousIP what you have when the user is not a lead?

Nope, SSL is not related. Only comes into play with referrers.

Only thing I'd add to your points is it could just as well be the IP of the lead's cell carrier as their corporate gateway.

Yep, I had forgotten the mobile devices
