Google Analytics: How can I see the IP addresses of those visiting my site?

Using Google Analytics, what's the code I need to add to my website so I can log peoples IP addresses (v4/v6)? Is there any way to get their MACs as well? Thanks!

In Google Tag Manager navigate to Tags > New > Custom HTML and paste in the following script:

<script type="application/javascript">
  function getIP(json) {
    dataLayer.push({"event":"ipEvent","ipAddress" : json.ip});  
  }
</script>

<script type="application/javascript" src="https://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp&callback=getIP"></script>

You have to create a custom dimension in Google Analytics and a DataLayer Variable called ipAddress as its value in relative field in GTM.

Note: the Google Analytics TOS does not allow to send PII to the platform, so it is at your own risk (the danger is account closure and loss of all data).
