Get your WAN/public IP address using PowerShell and ipify.org

Posted in ,

I just discovered the ipify.org service to quickly get your public / WAN IP address.

https://www.ipify.org/ – API Usage for IPv4

So to get the WAN / public IP address using PowerShell

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://api.ipify.org')

Or get it as JSON and ConvertFrom-Json-it

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://api.ipify.org?format=json') | ConvertFrom-Json

Yeah, i know, my WAN IP is visible in the screenshot .. i’m not concerned, because the fantastic movistar provider gives you a new ip address every day.. and i’m pfSense-ed anyway 😉

Happy 2021 to everyone and don’t forget: Envy must be earned, complaining is free.
