Get your public IP address - very fast!
In Node.js, it queries the DNS records of OpenDNS which has an entry with your IP address.
In browsers, it uses the excellent icanhaz service through HTTPS.
$ npm install --save public-ip
const publicIp = require('public-ip');
publicIp.v4().then(ip => {
console.log(ip);
//=> '46.5.21.123'
});
publicIp.v6().then(ip => {
console.log(ip);
//=> 'fe80::200:f8ff:fe21:67cf'
});Returns a Promise which resolves to your public IPv4 or IPv6 address. Will reject on error or timeout. A .cancel() method is available on the promise, which can be used to cancel the request.
Type: Object
Type: boolean
Default: false
Use a HTTPS check using the icanhazip.com service instead of the DNS query. This check is much more secure and tamper-proof, but also a lot slower. This option is only available in the Node.js version.
Type: number
Default: 5000
The time in milliseconds until a request is considered timed out.
