Finding out your external IP address

If you want to find out what external IP address your router has assigned to it, you can either search the Internet for sites that can display that said IP address or you can use the Linux command line:

wget -O - -q icanhazip.com


wget options:
'-O -' will display output on terminal instead of saving it in a file.
'-q' will suppress wget's output (e.g. connecting ,saving)

This are other sites which can be used instead of icanhasip.com
