What is my IP address

What is my IP address

Just another "what is my IP address" service, including geolocation and headers information, written in go with high performance in mind, it uses gin which uses httprouter a lightweight high performance HTTP multiplexer.

Take a look at ifconfig.es a live site using whatismyip

Get your public IP easily from the command line:

curl ifconfig.es
127.0.0.1

curl -6 ifconfig.es
::1

Features

TLS and HTTP/2.
Can run behind a proxy by trusting a custom header (usually X-Real-IP) to figure out the source IP address.
IPv4 and IPv6.
Geolocation info including ASN. This feature is possible thanks to maxmind GeoLite2 databases. In order to use these databases, a license key is needed. Please visit Maxmind site for further instructions and get a free license.
High performance.
Self-contained server what can reload GeoLite2 databases and/or SSL certificates without stop/start. The hup signal is honored.
HTML templates for the landing page.
Text plain and JSON output.

Usage

Usage of ./whatismyip:
  -bind string
        Listening address (see https://pkg.go.dev/net?#Listen) (default ":8080")
  -geoip2-asn string
        Path to GeoIP2 ASN database
  -geoip2-city string
        Path to GeoIP2 city database
  -template string
        Path to template file
  -tls-bind string
        Listening address for TLS (see https://pkg.go.dev/net?#Listen)
  -tls-crt string
        When using TLS, path to certificate file
  -tls-key string
        When using TLS, path to private key file
  -trusted-header string
        Trusted request header for remote IP (e.g. X-Real-IP)
  -version
        Output version information and exit

Examples

Run a default TCP server

./whatismyip -geoip2-city ./test/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb -geoip2-asn ./test/GeoLite2-ASN-Test.mmdb

Run a TLS (HTTP/2) server only

./whatismyip -geoip2-city ./test/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb -geoip2-asn ./test/GeoLite2-ASN-Test.mmdb -bind "" -tls-bind :8081 -tls-crt ./test/server.pem -tls-key ./test/server.key

Run a default TCP server with a custom template and trust a custom header set by an upstream proxy

./whatismyip -geoip2-city ./test/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb -geoip2-asn ./test/GeoLite2-ASN-Test.mmdb -trusted-header X-Real-IP -template mytemplate.tmpl
