About:
Identme is a command-line utility that retrieves the user's public IPv4 or IPv6 address by querying an external service. It provides a simple and reliable method for checking external IP information directly from the terminal. This tool is useful for scripting and network diagnostics where external IP visibility is required.
Key Features:
  • Displays both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
  • Supports JSON output for scripting
  • Minimal dependencies and lightweight
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Verifying VPN or proxy configuration
  • Monitoring public IP changes in scripts
  • Network troubleshooting and diagnostics
Alternatives:
  • curl – More versatile but requires knowing specific API endpoints and parsing output manually
  • ipify – Similar purpose with a dedicated API, often used in automation scripts
