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 available
• 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 -icense key is needed. Please visit Maxmind site for further instructions and get a free license.
• High performance
• HTML with templates, text plain and JSON output.
