How so? Getting your public/external IP does not seem possible behind a NAT without an external service.

  No idea. All I can tell you is that it works and if I need to hard code a IP check like this then I’d rather rely on a big player like Google or cloudflare ns than someone’s project site

    What command line do you use?
    • Havoc 2y ago
      dig whoami.cloudflare ch txt @1.1.1.1 +short

    Not sure if I'd trust an undocumented Google feature without any SLA more, to be honest. Rumor has it that Google have discontinued a service or two before.

  You can use dig: dig +short -4 myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com (still an external service, but not reliant on a website)

    That's just another protocol in the end (DNS vs. HTTP), or am I missing something? DNS also runs a higher risk of being cached or mangled somewhere along the way by middleboxes. HTTPS avoids that problem.
