Hi, In order to get the external IP on a script I used (Dec 2015) this one liner: wget -qO - checkip.dyndns.org | cut -d":" -f2 | cut -d"<" -f1 and this is failing now (returns empty), but I'm unable (ie, too thick today) to see why. The output of the wget run is: cer@minas-tirith:~> wget -qO - checkip.dyndns.org <html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: 2.141.215.163</body></html> cer@minas-tirith:~> Something has changed, no idea what. Meanwhile, looking on google, I got another simpler oneliner (from https://coderwall.com/p/lmi2jw/get-external-ip-in-a-script): curl http://icanhazip.com they also suggest using http://ifconfig.me/ip instead, but it fails: cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://icanhazip.com 2.141.215.163 cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://checkip.dyndns.org cer@minas-tirith:~> curl http://ifconfig.me/ip cer@minas-tirith:~> All sites work on a browser, but only http://icanhazip.com works on the CLI with curl. Why? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
