I was using "wolwake @IP@" in my config, now it's not passing correct IP anymore

Nothing changed on this theme on latest updated, and for a very long time.
Your network setup makes server to thing that all renders are from the same IP.
(i bet that it is an IP of some router that renders connects to server from)

As far as i understand, you have some custom tool to wake renders.
And it gets a render IP from server. How?
You also can get full info with all IPs, how?
If it is a render item double click from afwath, you can launch afwatch from console, and see how it gets full info.

btw
you can wake render using mac address not ip - use broadcast message.

Thanks Timurhai.

All the rendernodes are on the cloud, probably cloud provider changed something and as coincidence I saw it after upgrade. Sorry about that.

To answer your questions:

1. I use custom tool that wakes nodes based on IP addresses, as I don't have their physical addresses
2. I use config.json option: - this is where I send nodes IP
3. I get full info from Afwatcher right click on the node and pressing Show Info

I have one node running on the same node as Afserver, which wakes render nodes when needed

Basically if I send that command manually - it still works. So my question is - how can I get that IP from the network card rather then from socket? Is it possible?

Yes. You can launch afwatch from a console, and see how it gets full info.
In a console mode, afwatch prints in stdout messages that it sends to server.
This is the way to learn Afanasy JSON protocol.

Cool!

Thanks a lot Timurhai, your help much appreciated!

I ran afwatch from command prompt, but it doesn't provide any output there:
Any options I need to turn on while running it?

Sorry, it is only for Linux.
Windows version drops console.

Also you can look at web gui network logs. (left-bottom button with an arrow)

Thanks Timur!
