here is sample of getting IP address on node server:

const http = require('http');
const server = http.createServer();
server.listen(5432, () => { });
server.on('connection', (stream) => {
  console.log("someone connected: " + stream.remoteAddress);
});

You can use the request.connection method to retrieve the net.Socket object, where you can then use your socket.remoteAddress property.

I'm just adding this because I came across this article and it still took me a little bit of time to figure out it was as you see in the following:

var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
    res.end('Hello ' + req.connection.remoteAddress + '!');
    console.log("request received from: " + req.connection.remoteAddress);
}).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');

console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');
