Display if a machine is at the office or remote
Within Atera it asks that we define the business Public IP. What would be nice is to view if a user is working at the office or remotely when looking at devices under the customer name.
One could have a simple reference point to the Public IP that is defined and display a "true statement" if the user is at the office or remotely.

The public IP address displayed on a device is helpful to know where the device is physically located. Maybe it's at a customer site. Maybe they are working remote.
Trouble is I have to memorize public IP addresses to figure out where the device is physically located.
This is helpful to identify Internet/firewall networking issue or if the user is in the building today.
I'd like to see the customer/site have a public IP (or multiple IPs) that would display on the device info.
Or do a reverse DNS lookup on the public IP and display that on the device.
That would help me know at a glance if the device is in the office, or remote, or what Internet connectivity I may be troubleshooting.
Thanks!
