Segment automatically collects the user's IP address for device-based (iOS, Android, Analytics.js and Xamarin) events.

You can pass a value for `options.context.ip` to prevent the Segment systems from recording the IP address for the request, as in the example below.

> At the moment, Segment doesn't support automatically collecting IPv6 addresses.

You can manually set the IP by passing a value for `options.context.ip` to prevent the Segment systems from recording the IP address for the request, as in the example below.

```js
analytics.track("Order Completed", {}, { context: { ip: "0.0.0.0" }});
```

You must add this override to _every_ Track call to explicitly override IP collection. If you reset this trait in the context object, Segment defaults to the normal IP collection behavior.
