Hi NMGLUG folks, I am familiar with using https://ipchicken.com/ to find my public IP address using the browser. I would like to verify my public IP address using CLI as well as the browser. I found this page https://www.tecmint.com/find-linux-server-public-ip-address/ with 4 ways. The web page (last updated July 2023) shows that the results are in IPv4, but my results are in IPv6. I tried all four ways.
From the dig command, I get "bash: dig: command not found" From the host command, I get crap. When I remove the pipes I get stuff including an IPv6 address. From the wget and curl commands, Iget an IPv6 address. The IPv6 address from 5 variations of wget and curl are all the same. The IPv6 address from host is different. I like curl ifconfig.me because it is easy to remember.
Here's the problem. I would like to verify my public IP address using CLI as well as the browser.
From ipchicken in the broswer, I get IPv4. From the CLI, I get IPv6. How can I verify my public IP address?
