I use ipinfo.io mostly to see my own public facing IP address and for me, it's 2 reasons:

- I somehow can remember that domain. I don't have to google "my ip" and dig through weird domains that change all the time

- The design is clean and simple. Not too many information, no ads, loads fast.

Thank you for operating this one!! It's the only one I use :)

I even think I embedded it in a PoC software I made in a previous company :)

For someone looking for a simple CLI option to get your remote IPv4, you can use the following:

    dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com
In my case, I have a ip_remote.fish file in my $HOME/.config/fish/functions folder which defines an ip_remote function that executes the line above.

As an added bonus, you can get all local IPv4 with:

    ifconfig | sed -En 's/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'

Curl ipinfo.io seems simpler, and provides a lot more information! If you do just want the ip then curl ipinfo.io/ip

When I google “my ip”, I get a onebox showing me my IP. Dose that not appear in your search results?

Like this [1]? These custom results are usually limited to some countries. Like when you search for "color picker" [2] and "bubble level" [3] on mobile. Google is known for testing these features in their services in specific locations so I wouldn't be surprised if people from other countries cannot see them.

Or the super easy to remember http://ip4.me (ip6.me is a thing too)

Google gives you your IPv6, but ipinfo only supports IPv4 – which can be useful sometimes.

German Google, no. Also not when writing it in German.

Strange, both google.com and google.de show a info box with my IP for the query "my ip" for me (from Germany). Does not work with "meine IP" but that is more to type anyways.

Mobile or desktop?
Re:How I Took an API Side Project to 250M Daily Requests by kevinbowman on Saturday July 01, 2017 @04:47PM (#14678936)
I often use:

  curl curlmyip.org

As a Linux user, I mostly go for 'curl ifconfig.co' ;)

Curl ipinfo.io gives you a lot more information!
