1. Description
PublicIP is a small 30 liner to make the public / external IP
address visible to the user. This can be achieved with other
Command-line tools, but I just wanted to be able to use a
memorizable command that anyone could use as if it was always
there.
There is no particular reason why it is a C# based .exe and
not a simple .cmd or .bat other than " I don't want to support
that horrible batch/cmd 'language' ".
2. How to use
After choosing the correct version (x86 or x64), you should
rename the file to "PublicIP.exe" (because that is how it was
originally intended to be called).
PublicIP is a Command-line based program. It needs to be run
via the windows-command-line (cmd.exe). To run the program
from cmd.exe, simply type the name of the file ("PublicIP" /
"PublicIP_x64" / "PublicIP_x86").
Upper- and lower-case generally do not matter.
3. How it works
PublicIP simply fetches a string from canihazip.com and writes
it to the console. As simple as it gets.
4. License information
Use it for whatever you want, as long as it's not commercial.
5. Disclaimer
PublicIP is a lazy 30 line C# program, which will neither
protect nor publish anything. It will need an internet
connection in order to work, and it will only establish a
connection to canihazip.com [5.196.192.222]. If it does anything
else, please tell me (see "6. Contact") and stop using it,
as you may have run into a damaged / infected version.
If you download the program PublicIP_x86.exe / PublicIP_x64.exe from anywhere else than
github.com/leedoff, it is your own responsibility to make sure
that it is safe. If you're not sure about where you got
the .exe from, delete it and download it from the repository.
