Global IP detection tool for who has paranoid skeptical. Show own Public IP (a.k.a. Global IP; WAN IP; External IP) with reliability by searching multiple way.
myip supports various way to IP resolving.
- HTTP / HTTPS
- DNS
- STUN
See the target list for the bundled resolvers.
And if many of these targets answer same, then it show as true IP. So this aims to be resistant for man-in-the-middle-attack or temporary service down.

$ go build ./...This project uses lefthook to run the same checks as CI locally.
$ lefthook install- pre-commit: runs
go vet ./...to catch issues before each commit. - pre-push: runs
go vet ./...andgo test ./...before each push.
CI still runs the full suite on every pull request and push to main — the hooks bring that feedback earlier, to your local machine.
