# Nginx - check your public IP
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you just need your public IP, and nothing more. A simple config change in nginx can offer you exactly this.
|
|
|
|
Add the following `location` segment to the `server` segment of your choice. *You could replace `/ip` with another term*.
|
|
|
|
`location /ip { default_type text/plain; return 200 $remote_addr;}`
|
|
|
|
Now, if you visit the destination of the `server` segment with the subdirectory `/ip`, you'll find your IP. Try it out and visit [https://brrl.net/ip](https://brrl.net/ip).
|
|
|
|
The neat part is that it works well in the CLI too:
|
|
: `curl brrl.net/ip`
|
|
: `wget -qO- brrl.net/ip`
|
|
: Powershell
|
|
: `Invoke-RestMethod brrl.net/ip` or `irm brrl.net/ip`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your setup, some tweaking is necessary in regards to TLS, redirects, and so on.
