Get public/external IP address?

Question

I cant seem to get or find information on finding my routers public IP? Is this because it cant be done this way and would have to get it from a website?

Answer 1

Using C#, With webclient its a short one.

public static void Main(string[] args) {     string externalIpString = new WebClient().DownloadString("http://icanhazip.com").Replace("\\r\\n", "").Replace("\\n", "").Trim();     var externalIp = IPAddress.Parse(externalIpString);      Console.WriteLine(externalIp.ToString()); } 

Command Line (works on both Linux and Windows)

wget -qO- http://bot.whatismyipaddress.com 

OR

curl http://ipinfo.io/ip 

Answer 2

static void Main(string[] args) {     HTTPGet req = new HTTPGet();     req.Request("http://checkip.dyndns.org");     string[] a = req.ResponseBody.Split(':');     string a2 = a[1].Substring(1);     string[] a3=a2.Split('<');     string a4 = a3[0];     Console.WriteLine(a4);     Console.ReadLine(); } 

Do this small trick with Check IP DNS

Use HTTPGet class i found on Goldb-Httpget C#
