This is interesting and very impressive, though if you go to a website like http://ifconfig.io http://ifconfig.io you get a different IP then your own public IP

- indigodaddy 7y agoWouldn’t that be expected?
- BuildTheRobots 7y agoNot if it's running entirely in my browser and therefore using my network stack - in the same way "icanhazip.com" when looked at in your browser should show your own IP. edit: `curl icanhazip.com` returns 107.170.233.148 which seems to belong to digital ocean. It also matches the host relay.widgetry.org which is refered in the demo URL as as a "relayURL". I have no idea how it's working or why though - the lack of ip or ifconfig in the VM upsets me ;)
- neurostimulant 7y agoMaybe they tunnel all network requests through their server to make it work? Afaik you can't just make arbitrary tcp/udp request from a webpage to any host, so they must be tunneling the data via their own server.
