  • cli

    Official Command Line Interface for the IPinfo API (IP geolocation and other types of IP data) (by ipinfo)

    • I'm glad icanhazip will live on! We also see a lot of malware and bot traffic to https://ipinfo.io, but nowhere near these levels!

  • myip

    Get your external IP address using multiple STUN servers

    • This kind of service is exactly what STUN servers are made for to be used alongside webrtc. There are a plethora of unauthenticated STUN servers around, and while there's still room for abuse, the protocol is a bit more lightweight than full-blown http requests, and faster, too!

    I've dabbled with doing this on my own, but I've found `myip` to do the job nicely and without hassle:

  • cloudflare-dyndns

    CloudFlare Dynamic DNS client

    • I use this service in my Dynamic DNS script for Cloudflare too: https://github.com/kissgyorgy/cloudflare-dyndns

  • cloud-self-test-kit

    • Reminds me of `echo "$(dig @ns1.google.com o-o.myaddr.l.google.com TXT +short | tr -d \")`. I have no idea where this DNS query came from, because searching all of Google turns up nothing but https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-self-test-kit/b..., which is never referenced by anyone. It seems like https://checkip.amazonaws.com/ is much more "reliable" in that it is publicly documented at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/v3/developer-guide/s....
