 ## Considerations
 
 The IP should not be trusted as it can be spoofed in most cases, especially when
-loaded via the `Headers` object.
+loaded via the `Headers` object. We apply additional platform guards if a
+platform is supplied in the `options` argument.
 
-In non-production environments (`NODE_ENV !== "production"`), we allow
-private/internal addresses so that the SDKs work correctly locally.
+If a private/internal address is encountered, it will be skipped. If only those
