is it possible to get exact client local IP address using django under mikrotik hotspot network?

Question

when I connected my server to regular router request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'] works fine. it gets the correct IP, but when I setup the connection within mikrotik hotspot it gets the DNS IP which is 10.17.1.1. my settings:

-> hotspot address 10.17.1.1/24
-> server address 10.17.1.2
-> server was already added in walled garden and IP Binding to bypass hotspot authentication

I got an access to the server website even not logged in to hotspot but i got the client incorrect ip address which always returned as 10.17.1.1

please help... any best ideas or solutions will be much appreciated! thanks!

I'm not familiar with django, but in oryginal mikrotik Hotspot there are variables which you can use on the hotspot website located in your RouterOS. And for example

$(host-ip) or $(ip)

I guess is what you need. more about it you can read here https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Customizing_Hotspot
