💖 exip(1) — get your external IP, bestie 💖

okay so real talk: exip is that girl. she goes out, asks a whole bunch of services what your external IP is, and comes back with the answer. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

exip — Retrieve your external IP 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

exip [OPTIONS]

like literally that's it. just the command and whatever options you're feeling today. 🎀

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this package is a Golang library whose whole personality is getting your external ip from multiple services. multiple!! she's not relying on one source, she's gathering the group chat's opinions. 💖

the design/implement STUNSource (that's Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)) — see RFC 3489 and RFC 5389 for more details. iykyk. ⭐

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h help — show this usage message. she's telling you how to use her, respectfully. 🙈
  • -p uint — IP Protocol to be used (0, 4, or 6). pick your fighter. 🥊
  • -t duration — consensus's voting timeout (default 5s). the girls are voting and this is how long they get to decide. ⏳
  • -v — log errors to STDERR, when defined. she's loud about her problems but only if you ask. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

basic era, just run her:

exip

okay but force IPv4 specifically:

exip -p 4

and if you're feeling IPv6 main character energy:

exip -p 6

give the consensus vote a lil more time, 10 instead of the default:

exip -t 10

and if you want the errors piped to STDERR:

exip -v
