LocalStorage is only available in browsers on the Window object.

The Window object is not available server side.

MDN

Following your comment, you could implement a route in your express application which takes the IP as part of the body. For this to work you will need body-parser middleware. Example application:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var server;

app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.get('/api/ip', function (req, res) {
  res.send(req.body.ip);
});

server = app.listen(3000);

This would return the posted IP.
