When helping someone over the phone, I get them to go to http://ipchicken.com

Very easy URL to relay, "do you see the chicken? let me know what the blue numbers are below it" - and most people seem to get a kick out of it!

A long time ago I spent a bit too long debugging something to later find out the "source port" that displays isn't right! It's still not right! I obviously fixed this by making my own site (https://ip.wtf).

Great service! Very informative. If you could also implement ip.wtf/ip or some such, it might decrease your bandwidth..!

Thanks!

No need for a /ip, just doing:

$ curl ip.wtf

... will do the right thing, or if your user-agent isn't curl send a header of "Accept: text/plain" and you'll get the plain text version (see https://ip.wtf/about for more).

And no need for an IPv4 or IPv6 mode url/param since curl -4 or curl -6 will do the trick!

Gives a CloudFlare 520 error for me...
