This is why running this (completely trivial) service yourself is helpful -- you can get the external IP from the perspective you desire.

Indeed. I like to include two convenience endpoints in my webserver configs (except in cases where I'd need to justify them to compliance/audit, etc):

  * /ip   responds with the src ip of the request
  * /req  responds with the full headers and body of the request

The latter is useful for debugging HTTP clients.
