Get IP Address from Command Line
Over the past few years I've needed to look up my IP address a dozen times. What's funny is that I don't recall why I needed it, I just did. So what's the easiest way to get my IP address from the command line?
To get your internal IP, you can do the following:
ipconfig getifaddr en0
I go through ipecho.net to get it:
curl ipecho.net/plain ; echo
# >> 71.87.32.78
Why go through an external resource? Your local address and your external address aren't the same, so using the external resource is the best way to tell what the world is seeing your IP address as.
![CSS Filters]()
CSS filter support recently landed within WebKit nightlies. CSS filters provide a method for modifying the rendering of a basic DOM element, image, or video. CSS filters allow for blurring, warping, and modifying the color intensity of elements. Let's have...
![LightFace: Facebook Lightbox for MooTools]()
One of the web components I've always loved has been Facebook's modal dialog. This "lightbox" isn't like others: no dark overlay, no obnoxious animating to size, and it doesn't try to do "too much." With Facebook's dialog in mind, I've created LightFace: a Facebook lightbox...
![jQuery Link Nudge Plugin]()
A while back I debuted a tasteful mouseover/mouseout technique called link nudging. It started with a MooTools version and shortly thereafter a jQuery version. Just recently Drew Douglass premiered a jQuery plugin that aimed at producing the same type of effect.
![CSS Sprites]()
The idea of CSS sprites is pretty genius. For those of you who don't know the idea of a sprite, a sprite is basically multiple graphics compiled into one image. The advantages of using sprites are:
Fewer images for the browser to download, which means...
I prefer the slightly simpler/easier to remember
ipinfo.io can give you even more information and is easier to use via tunneling as it works without a host header.
Windows users can use
ipconfig(notice the ‘p’).Your internal IP also depends on interface you’re using, in your case (en0) it was ethernet, but it also can be WiFi (en1).
ip route get 8.8.8.8 | awk 'NR==1 {print $NF}'Some time ago I started using an alternative which only uses DNS queries:
Google > “My IP” = Winner!
$ curl ipinfo.io { "ip": "174.47.27.98", "hostname": "174-47-27-98.static.twtelecom.net", "city": "Orange", "region": "California", "country": "US", "loc": "33.7878,-117.8531", "org": "AS4323 tw telecom holdings, inc.", "postal": "92666" } $ curl ipinfo.io/ip 69.170.45.10 $ curl ipinfo.io/org AS4323 tw telecom holdings, inc.See http://ipinfo.io/developers for more details
I just search Google for “what is my ip” like a n00b.
I prefer:
alias publicip='curl ipecho.net/plain ; echo' alias localip="ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -Eo '([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'"hahaha, i just think to google it :D, but thanks dude, sometimes need to apply to my terminal command
It is ugly. But the Google lovers will enjoy.
Prerequisite: curl, and grep.
curl -s "https://www.google.ie/search?client=firefox-b&q=myip&oq=myip&gs_l" | grep "Client IP address" | grep -oE "\b([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b"
