Finding external IP using the command line

The easiest way is to use an external service via a commandline browser or download tool. Since wget is available by default in Ubuntu, we can use that.

To find your ip, use:
wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain ;
You can do the same using curl:
curl ipecho.net/plain ; echo
