Description

Hello,

I'm running the nextcloud instance at home. So the server and the client IPs are the same sometimes. Once in a while I get an email about a new login location. When I check th IP it's my own public IP. Is there a way to whitelist the server IP address?
I found another Issue https://github.com/nextcloud/suspicious_login/issues/659. The problem with an IP list is, that it does not work in my case, because my public IP is changing from time to time.

Research direction

Start with issue #892 and the referenced issue #659 to understand the existing IP-list approach and the false-positive case for a home-hosted instance with a changing public IP. Define the expected whitelist behavior and how completion would prevent alerts for the server's own login without weakening suspicious-login detection.
