My IP Checker

This skill discovers both the public (external) IP and the local (internal) IP of the current machine.

Step 1: Get public IP

Use a simple HTTPS endpoint that returns your public IP as plain text:

curl.exe -s https://ifconfig.me

If the service is blocked or slow, try:

curl.exe -s https://api.ipify.org

Step 2: Get local IPv4 address

On Windows (PowerShell or cmd):

ipconfig

Then filter the output for lines containing IPv4 地址 or IPv4 Address.

On Linux:

hostname -I

This typically returns one or more local IPs separated by spaces.

Usage notes

• Use Step 1 when configuring firewalls, VPNs, or any external allowlist.
• Use Step 2 when debugging LAN connectivity, port forwarding, or internal routing.
• Prefer HTTPS endpoints and avoid adding API keys; these services are free and anonymous.
