What I planned to do is using a 3rd party engine that is able to obtain the ip address of the current user, however I can't seem to store it in a variable.
Here is how I attempt to do it:

Here is the code I'm using:
$("div").click(function (e) {
var ip_ad = '';
$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function(response) {
alert("Your ip from get: " + response.ip);
storeIP(response.ip);
}, "jsonp");
function storeIP(data) {
ip_ad = data;
alert("Your ip from function: " + ip_ad);
}
console.log("Your ip from global variable: " + ip_ad);
});
I can alert the ip on each stage, but I can't seem to append the value into my ip_ad variable.
