 The user's IP address. If the user is unauthenticated, Sentry uses the IP address as a unique identifier for the user.
 Serverside SDKs that instrument incoming requests will attempt to pull the IP address from the HTTP request data (`request.env.REMOTE_ADDR` field in JSON), if available. That might require <PlatformIdentifier name="send-default-pii" /> set to `true` in the SDK options.
 
-If the user's `ip_address` is set to `"{{auto}}"`, Sentry will infer the IP address from the connection between your app and Sentry's server.

-If the field is omitted, the default value is `null`. However, due to backwards compatibility concerns, certain platforms (in particular JavaScript) have a different default value for `"{{auto}}"`. SDKs and other clients should not rely on this behavior and should set IP addresses or `"{{auto}}"` explicitly.
+If the field is omitted, the default value is `null`.
 
 To opt out of storing users' IP addresses in your event data, you can go to your project settings, click on "Security & Privacy", and enable "Prevent Storing of IP Addresses" or use Sentry's [server-side data](/security-legal-pii/scrubbing/) scrubbing to remove `$user.ip_address`. Adding such a rule ultimately overrules any other logic.

+If the SDK is configured with <PlatformLink to="/configuration/options/#send_default_pii">send_default_pii</PlatformLink> set to `true`, we automatically attach the authenticated user to all your events sent to Sentry.

+If you instead want to manually attach the user to your events, we recommend to listen to Laravel's `\Illuminate\Auth\Events\Authenticated` event:
+
+```php {filename:app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php}
+/**
+* Bootstrap any application services.

+public function boot(): void
+{
