IP addresses are not stored by default as these are considered personal data according to the GDPR. Should you wish to store the IP address of the submitting user, you may do so using the af/form/entry_created action hook.

add_action( 'af/form/entry_created', function ( $entry_id, $form ) {
  if ( $form['key'] === 'YOUR_FORM_KEY_HERE' ) {
    update_post_meta( $entry_id, '_af_entry_ip_address', $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );
  }
}, 10, 2 );
