Are you asking, "Can I have the gateway detect the Perspective client's IP address and serve a specific view related to that IP address?". If so, the answer is usually "No". > [@Perspective - Scripting - Get Computer name and IP of client](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-scripting-get-computer-name-and-ip-of-client/49626/11): > > Keep in mind that this operation works on the IP address of the TCP (http) connection to the server from the Server’s perspective. Clients behind a NAT firewall will be seen as the firewall’s IP, and with the name of the firewall via reverse DNS. Users familiar with Vision’s total access to the local computer will forever be disappointed at the lack of access via browsers. > [@How to get the device/host Name on client server](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-get-the-device-host-name-on-client-server/59046/1): > > Hi all, The script system.net.getHostName() returns the host/device name in local device and in client server it was returning the server name but instead of server name is their any chance to get the device name in the server side too.
