Subject: [PATCH] Fix LookupIP to try alternative servers when non-public IP
 received

When a dmsg server returns a non-public IP address (e.g., from a LAN
dmsg server), the client now logs a warning and continues trying other
servers instead of immediately returning an error. This ensures visors
connected to local dmsg servers can still obtain their public IP for
survey generation.
