I got tired of sending people to ad laden websites, some of them quite obnoxious, just for an IP. So I made this.

No ads, no affiliation with anybody but the guy who made it, just a place to get Just Your IP.

Gosh, and here I feel like an Old for remembering the big list:

or, the classic "let TTL do the work": ping -i 2 example.org (assuming you're one hop from your egress)

There's also icanhazip.com and /cdn-cgi/trace on any Cloudflare-proxied site.

I didn't know about the /cdn-cgi/trace Cloudflare trick. Here's a one-liner to print just the ip via curl:

  curl -s cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace | grep ip | cut -d "=" -f 2 --

You could use awk instead of grep & cut:

      curl -s cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace | awk '{FS="="} /ip/ {print $2}'

And sed:

    curl -s cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace | sed -nr "s/^ip\=(.+)$/\1/p"

What do those -- at the end do? I get my IP without them.

That may return IPv6 if you have IPv6 connectivity, which might not be what you're looking for.

I just do this, myself:

IP=`curl -s checkip.amazonaws.com`

One does not simply upvote to the top alone! Thank you, bookmarked!

Thanks!

How about a sister site called notyourip.com that shows someone else’s IP address?
