Global IP detection tool for who has paranoid skeptical. Show own Public IP (a.k.a. Global IP; WAN IP; External IP) with reliability by searching multiple way.

myip supports various way to IP resolving.

• HTTP / HTTPS
• DNS
• STUN

c.f. https://github.com/kitsuyui/myip/blob/master/targets/targets.go

And if many of these targets answer same, then it show as true IP. So this aims to be resistant for man-in-the-middle-attack or temporary service down.

$ myip
203.0.113.2

This option gives output with ending newline character.

$ myip
203.0.113.2$

$ myip -n
203.0.113.2
$

$ myip -V
v0.3.0

When your machine has IPv6 address, -6 option is available.

$ myip -6
2001:0db8:0000:0042:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

If your machine doesn't have IPv6 address, fallbacks to IPv4.

$ myip -h
myip

Usage:
 myip [-v | --verbose] [-4 | -6] [-T=<rate>] [-t=<duration>]
 myip (--help | --version)

Options:
 -h --help               						 Show this screen.
 -V --version            						 Show version.
 -v --verbose            						 Verbose mode.
 -4 --ipv4               						 Prefer IPv4.
 -6 --ipv6               						 Prefer IPv6.
 -n --newline            						 Show IP with newline.
 -N --no-newline         						 Show IP without newline.

2. Download and make it executable

If you encounter such as following:

3. Execute xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./myip to remove quarantine flag set on the binary.

$ wget https://github.com/kitsuyui/myip/releases/download/${version}/myip_${your_os} -O myip
$ chmod +x ./myip
