Is there a way to get the Remote Gateway IP from the Remote Connections tab from the gateway in a python script? I am wanting to write dynamic API calls, and the self reported IP from the edge gateway is going to be incorrect since we are using port forwarding, and I need the IP of the firewall. Is there any clear way to do this?

Try configuring the Public Address field (Web Server Settings docs [8.1](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/gateway/config/web-server-settings#public-http-address) or [8.3](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/gateway/web-interface/network/web-server-settings#public-http-address)) within the Edge Gateway Configuration webpage under Web Server settings. This should help with the address reported to any connected clients.
