No,
The IP is the right one.
But some proxys also disclose the ip behind the proxy, in that case the first ip is the right one; the proxy ip, and the alt_ip is the one behind the proxy. (which doesnt work in all proxy) but it sure as hell saves time when spammers sign up with multiple accounts and the proxy changes, but the ip behind it doesn't.
