Get Your Public IP Address

2024-01-04

If you’re trying to figure out what your current public IP address is, there is a server you can ask. It is a server running at https://ifconfig.me.

You can visit that URL in your browser to find your IP address and some other User Agent/Request details. The site also mentions several cURL commands you can run to get these details in your terminal.

$ curl -4 https://api64.ipify.org

$ curl -6 https://api64.ipify.org

To get further information go to ifconfig.me/ip.

See ifconfig.me for more details. See https://www.ipify.org for more details. See https://wtfismyip.com to get IPv4 & IPv6 IP on the same page.
