CLI commands to find your public IP address.

==== Curl ====
<code>
> curl icanhazip.com
11.22.33.44

11.22.33.44
# echo is just to add \n to the end
</code>

==== Dig ====
<code>
# via OpenDNS
> dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com
11.22.33.44

# via Google
> dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
"11.22.33.44"

# via Akamai
> dig @ns1-1.akamaitech.net ANY whoami.akamai.net +short
11.22.33.44
</code>
Install the [[Software:isc_dig_host|ISC dig and host]] tools.


==== nslookup ====
<code>
# same as above, but nslookup for Windoze
> nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com
Server:  resolver1.opendns.com
Address:  208.67.222.222

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    myip.opendns.com
Address:  11.22.33.44
</code>

==== PowerShell ====
<code>
  (Invoke-WebRequest 'http://icanhazip.com/').Content
</code>
Which can be shortened to 
<code>
  (iwr 'http://icanhazip.com/').Content
</code>

Invoke-WebRequest is also aliased as curl so this is another way to get the same result.

<code>
curl icanhazip.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content
</code>

You could sub http://api.ipify.org/ to get the same results.
