How can I get my external IP address from behind a NAT?

I think it is amazing how complicated some people can make a simple problem with a simple solution.

FYI, I tried whatismyip.org with wget command shown for icanhazip.com. The difference is with icanhazip.com there was a newline after the IP, whereas with whatismyip.org there was not (that's the way the respective servers send it). Either should work fine in a script capture.

Here is another one:

curl smart-ip.net/myip

Also works fine with IPv6!

when the router is forced to use a proxy (transparent proxy) all of the suggested command/script is showing the proxy address . not the router's external ip address.

Here's another one: ipecho.net

I like this one because it provides a plain version as well, for programming. You can use that one from the command line like this:

wget -qO- ipecho.net/plain

Hope this helps
