MyIP

Simple service to display your public IP address and quickly check useful network information from a browser or command line.

MyIP displays the IP address visible from the Internet without a heavy interface or dependence on a closed service. The service is based on echoip, free software designed to answer this kind of need with outputs suitable for both web and command-line tools.

It is practical for diagnostics, network checks, VPN tests, Internet exit verification and script integration. Hostux also provides dedicated vhosts to explicitly test IPv4-only or IPv6-only connectivity, which is useful when a connection behaves differently depending on the network stack in use.

• Check the public IP address seen from the Internet.
• Diagnose network access, Internet egress or an IP change.
• Verify the effect of a VPN, tunnel or proxy.
• Test IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity explicitly depending on the vhost used.
• Get a simple, readable answer that can be used in a script or a quick manual check.

This is the kind of small utility that becomes useful again and again during troubleshooting, because it answers a concrete question immediately: what does the outside world currently see?

• Direct display of the public IP address in plain text.
• JSON output for easier integration with scripts or automation tools.
• Separate endpoints for generic, IPv4-only and IPv6-only use.
• Additional network information possible depending on the service configuration.
• Simple usage from a browser, curl, wget or other common HTTP clients.

• ip.hostux.net is the main endpoint to display the public IP visible from the Internet.
• ipv4.hostux.net and ip4.hostux.net let you explicitly test IPv4-only access.
• ip6.hostux.net and ipv6.hostux.net let you explicitly test IPv6-only access.
• The response can be returned as plain text for direct use, or as JSON for automated use.
• The service is particularly suited to quick tests, shell scripts, environment checks or manual verifications.

In practice, the split endpoints are what make the service more useful than a generic “what is my IP” page: they help confirm whether traffic really exits over IPv4 or IPv6.

• Test a VPN, a WireGuard tunnel or a specific network egress.
• Check a public IP address change on a residential line or a server.
• Inspect IPv4 and IPv6 behavior separately on a workstation, a container or a VPS.
• Confirm that a host really has working IPv6 connectivity.
• Integrate public IP retrieval into an administration script or troubleshooting workflow.

• curl https://ip.hostux.net/
• curl https://ipv4.hostux.net/
• curl https://ip4.hostux.net/
• curl https://ip6.hostux.net/
• curl https://ipv6.hostux.net/
• curl -H 'Accept: application/json' https://ip.hostux.net/
• curl https://ip.hostux.net/json
• wget -qO- https://ip.hostux.net/

These endpoints are useful to check quickly which network stack is actually used by your machine or connection.

Main: ip.hostux.net

IPv4 only: ipv4.hostux.net, ip4.hostux.net

IPv6 only: ip6.hostux.net, ipv6.hostux.net

HostuxDNS for encrypted public DNS.
