Find your public IP address from the command line

I like the extra detail from

      curl ipinfo.io

particularly if using Tor or a VPN, but

      dig +short myip.opendns.com @208.67.222.222

is usually quicker than anything curl / wget based, as it doesn't use http. You can substitute `host` if `dig` isn't available.

These are my favorites, because they seem less likely to disappear in the future:

https://ip.appspot.com/

http://whatismyip.akamai.com/

Same as http://icanhazip.com/

There is also http://ifconfig.me

wtfismyip.com/text is the only one I can ever remember when I am on a terminal. For some reason it sticks in my head.

prefixing with ipv6 or ipv4 works nicely too.

Bah, no IPv6 :(
