Does anyone know of a good FOSS IP detector? I'm thinking of something like https://www.whatismyisp.com/ or https://whatismyipaddress.com/. Like how https://librespeed.org/ is a good alternative to https://www.speedtest.net/.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Thanks for the answers everyone! Looks like we have...

Possibly ident.me
https://github.com/pcarrier/ident.me

It's also used by Neofetch by default.
https://ident.me/ returns just the IP
https://ident.me/json returns more info in JSON format
https://www.ident.me/ has a nicer UI

https://ifconfig.io/

curl ifconfig.io/ip

What do you want to use it for?

I prefer http://icanhazip.com

This has been my go-to for years

curl -s icanhazip.com

Not sure exactly what you want, but like this may be what you want. https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ipinfo.tw

There are simpler solutions that are just a php script on your web server if you're only interested in IP address (I couldn't find a good example quickly on mobile)

ifconfig.me you can even curl it

It does not mention anything about IPv6, when connecting via IPv4.

I don't know if it's FOSS, but I always use ipinfo.io
