When configuring a newly-created SQL Database server, the Networking page shows an empty IP address on the "Add your client IPv4 address" prompt.
See screenshot.
Is this a bug or evidence of hackers impersonating traffic?
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. thanks for bringing this to our attention, we were able to resolve the bug. The fix is included in the latest update, which was finalized today and is scheduled for a global release within the next 7-10 days.
I hope this information helps. please let us know if you have any additional questions.

The "Accept answer" button failed several times. Two or three times, the button spun for a while then the page refreshed, which reordered the answers.
When the page refreshed, the wrong answer was positioned under the mouse, so the wrong answer was accidentally clicked. That answer was accepted, then the page worked: the wrong answer could be "Unaccepted", and the right answer was re-accepted.

It is a bug, the same has been happening to me lately but it was working fine for years. It is not a security concern for you as user. You can use a site like whatismyip to get your current public IPv4 address.

Ideally "Add your client address" prompt on the Networking page of the Azure SQL Database server configuration is designed to automatically detect and display your current public IPv4 address.
If it's showing as empty, I believe it could be due to current network configuration might be blocking the Azure portal from detecting your public IPv4 address or you might be using a VPN or proxy that probably hides your public IPv4 address.
You can also try from the SQL Server management studio.
If you're connecting to an Azure SQL Server, you might get prompted to sign in to create a firewall rule. Click Sign In...
After successfully signing in, the form is pre-populated with your specific IP address.

Thank you!
I am on Spectrum's residential network. My IP address is detected by whatsmyip and visible in tracert.
I am hesitant to log in to Azure from within a SQL login's context. I think this discussion should return to Azure's interface:
Why would Azure not display the IP if it is visible using tracert and on (a suspicious website due to advertisers receiving the IP) whatsmyip?
