What is my external IP?

Nice trick to find your external IP from the terminal.

Code Select Expand

$ curl ifconfig.me

More infos at http://ifconfig.me/

Nice!

I used http://whatismyip.org/ so far because all it gives out is a text value of your IP, although it misses a return at the end so using it with on cli isn't the nicest experience.

However, added options of ifconfig.me like ifconfig.me/ua are really cool (and because of /ua I don't have to use something like whatsmyuseragent.com any more).

Too bad for some reason ifconfig.me is slow for me... hopefully just a temporary glitch...

I believe there is also a plasmoid that does the same, IIRC it is based on python

I used http://www.ip-details.com/ to find my IP. This site was very useful.
