Get your external IP address

Yeah I know it's been up here a million times, but this service is a really clean and nice one. Nothing but your IP address on it. Actually I was to write something like this, and noticed this on appspot... ;) Show Sample Output

cooooooooooooooool!!!!!

Much simpler than the others. Good job!

Much faster than ifconfig.me

michaelmior · 715 weeks and 5 days ago

Unlike ifconfig.me and others, this one works if you have a real ipv6 address!

conquistadog · 625 weeks ago

I rather use ifcfg.me, also works with nslookup or telnet
