This site is just sharing the information which, through normal/typical browser use, is transparent to you. The IP address and port information are made available by the underlying protocols, like IP, which Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) rides on top of. The information has to be shared in order for the request to be sent and a response received.
Server Side Includes (SSI) are used to present the HTTP environment variables shared with the HTTP server from the client (browser) request. Specifically, the SSI echo directive with the following variables:
- REMOTE_ADDR
- REMOTE_PORT
- HTTP_USER_AGENT
- HTTP_ACCEPT
- HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING
- HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
- DATE_GMT
The DATE_GMT variable is formatted using the config directive and the timefmt parameter set to "%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M:%S %Z".
