    Actually I figured it out. I needed to update the code that the developer used for finding the IP address.

    The current code 

    if(isset($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"])){
		return $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
	}elseif(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"])){
		return $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
	}elseif(isset($_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"])){
		return $_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"];
	}

    Needed to be updated to 

    if ( ! empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] ) ) {
		//check ip from share internet
		return $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
	} elseif ( ! empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ) ) {
		//to check ip is passed from proxy / load balancer
		return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
	} else {
		return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
	}

    The reason, is because the developers code would always return the REMOTE_ADDR even if HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR was set.
