Duck Duck Go tells you your IP when you ask for it
- gunjank 15y agoWhile Google gives my public IP, Duck Duck Go gives the IP address of my local network, that is behind my office's firewall. How useful is this IP address?
- arethuza 15y agoIt definitely only gets the external IP for my work PC here - perhaps your firewall isn't using NAT and you have a public IP address range on your internal network?
- sp332 15y agoUnless it's using javascript to show you your own IP, I don't even know how it would be possible for a server on the internet to know your internal IP.
- illdave 15y agoSearching Duck Duck Go for "show hn" shows that you can search HNsearch with their !bang syntax: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=show+hn http://duckduckgo.com/?q=show+hn
- jrussbowman 15y agowww.unscatter.com also has slashtags for HNSsearch. /hn, /hnstories and /hncomments all work http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhn http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhn http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhnstories&cs=duckduckgo http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhnstories&#... http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhncomments&cs=duckduckgo http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=duckduckgo+%2Fhncomments&... I didn't win, but I added it as an entry for that contest a while back.
- Sodaware 15y agoDDG has a lot of short commands like this. There's a list of regular ones here: http://duckduckgo.com/goodies.html http://duckduckgo.com/goodies.html (stuff like "is it raining?"). More technical commands are here: http://duckduckgo.com/tech.html http://duckduckgo.com/tech.html (like IP address lookups, whois commands and password generation).
- jrussbowman 15y agoJust checked, the duckduckgo instant answer integration on www.unscatter.com got this by default it appears http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=what+is+my+ip%3F http://www.unscatter.com/search/?q=what+is+my+ip%3F

- JonnieCache 15y agoDoes anyone know of a site which returns nothing but your IP address in text/plain when hit with a GET request? Such a thing would be useful for scripting purposes.

- hboon 15y agohttp://ifconfig.me/ http://ifconfig.me/ and useful stuff other than IP address (scroll down)
- brador 15y agoA competent programmer could build it in the time it took you to read this.
- BitMastro 15y agoA competent programmer should avoid unnecessary complexity as well, I suppose, but you are equally right.
- JonnieCache 15y agoYes indeed. However this competent programmer has paid work to be doing, and possesses the certain knowledge that such a thing exists already. Anyway, I'll bite: lambda { |env| [200, {'Content-Type'=>'text/plain'}, [Rack::Request.new(env).ip]] }

- bradleyland 15y agoThere's also http://jsonip.com/ http://jsonip.com/, which can be useful for scripting.
- llambda 15y agoFor some reason this keeps getting flagged: it's disappointing that HN is evidently not willing to allow a counterpoint to a multi-billion dollar search company on the front page; on the one hand there's a submission with 70-some points that shows Google offers this functionality on the other we apparently can't also point out Duck Duck Go is equally capable. Personally I think that Duck Duck Go deserves more attention than it gets.
- libria 15y agoBy all means, upvote and contribute to the discussion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3128997 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3128997. Personally I think that Duck Duck Go deserves more attention than it gets. Perhaps this is getting flagged b/c folks see it as promotion/spam?
- x0ner 15y agoSo does Google?
