# Does Google Analytics show IP addresses of visitors?

Not by default. Analytics does not expose visitor IP addresses in its standard reports. The workaround is capturing the address on your own server at page load and passing it into Analytics as a custom dimension alongside the click identifier. That puts both fields in one place, but it only collects data from the day you implement it. It cannot recover past traffic.
