#external-ip

Get your external IP, with fallbacks

##Installation

npm install external-ip

##Test Change your working directory to the project's root, npm install to get the development dependencies and then run npm test

##Usage

basic

'use strict';

var getIP = require('../index')();

getIP(function (err, ip) {
    if (err) {
        // every service in the list has failed
        throw err;
    }
    console.log(ip);
});

with configuration

'use strict';

var extIP = require('../index');

var getIP = extIP({
    replace: true, // true: replace the default services list, false: extend it, default: false
    services: ['http://ifconfig.co/x-real-ip', 'http://ifconfig.me/ip'],
    timeout: 600 // set timeout per request, default: 500ms
});

getIP(function (err, ip) {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
    console.log(ip);
});

##Why? No idea, really. Just another lib that gives you your external ip address

##Todo:

• clean up some mess
• sequential / parallel (spam) requests ?
