Hello everyone. I am going to conduct a international survey. i will distribute survey links to different households in my country which have a relative of them living abroad. Then they will send the link to their relative who might be a friend,brother/sister,cousin,father/mother,husband/wife,son/daughter etc. who is living abroad.
Now the problem is that i need to be sure that the respondant of the survey is the one living abroad.
how can i get data of their IP adress so i can be sure that the respondent is living abroad and not living in my country. because otherwise this will affect my study.

Welcome to the community, @ricard99! Capturing IP addresses in the background is not possible with the KoboToolbox system. You could, however, use the geopoint question type to capture the GPS location.
