 I need to restricted APIs based on user devices IPs. I had tried with proxy.clientip flow variable but it gives client IP only . is there any flow variables is there to get device IP?

The requirement is to restrict end users based on their system IP's.So i tried fetching it from the incoming request headers( request.header.X-Forwarded-For)But it resulted in the front end application IP and not the system IP of the end user.

i am trying this use case in apigee cloud not an on prem

"proxy.client.ip" should give you the IP of the end user. I tried it by myself. Btw, How are you trying to access the frontend application?
