  1. Description

    PublicIP is a small 30 liner to make the public / external IP
    address visible to the user. This can be achieved with other
    Command-line tools, but I just wanted to be able to use a
    memorizable command that anyone could use as if it was always
    there.
    There is no particular reason why it is a C# based .exe and
    not a simple .cmd or .bat other than " I don't want to support
    that horrible batch/cmd 'language' ".

  2. How to use

    After choosing the correct version (x86 or x64), you should
    rename the file to "PublicIP.exe" (because that is how it was
    originally intended to be called).
    PublicIP is a Command-line based program. It needs to be run
    via the windows-command-line (cmd.exe). To run the program
    from cmd.exe, simply type the name of the file ("PublicIP" /
    "PublicIP_x64" / "PublicIP_x86").
    Upper- and lower-case generally do not matter.

  3. How it works

    PublicIP simply fetches a string from canihazip.com and writes
    it to the console. As simple as it gets.

  4. License information

    Use it for whatever you want, as long as it's not commercial.

  5. Disclaimer

    PublicIP is a lazy 30 line C# program, which will neither
    protect nor publish anything. It will need an internet
    connection in order to work, and it will only establish a
    connection to canihazip.com [5.196.192.222]. If it does anything
    else, please tell me (see "6. Contact") and stop using it,
    as you may have run into a damaged / infected version.

    If you download the program PublicIP_x86.exe / PublicIP_x64.exe from anywhere else than
    github.com/leedoff, it is your own responsibility to make sure
    that it is safe. If you're not sure about where you got
    the .exe from, delete it and download it from the repository.
