Usually those services tell you your public IP. This service says my IP is 10.1.3.46, and while technically correct, useless.

- kordless 17y agoPics or it didn't happen.
- joss82 17y agoHow can it give you your private IP address? I'm curious... Is there a javascript call to list the IP addresses of any machine? That feels very insecure to me. EDIT: Sorry I forgot to turn on my joke detector.

- henrikschroder 17y agoUh, no? Knowing your public IP is valuable information sometimes and you need an external source to tell you that. Knowing your machine's IP is not something you should go to a website to look up, just check your local config.
- denisu 17y agoThanks for the feedback, it should now display the correct HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR-header if available.
