Usage

Get public IP

Returns your public IP address, as reported by DynDNS.org or other services.

var network = require('network');

network.get_public_ip(function(err, ip) {
  console.log(err || ip); // should return your public IP address
})
CLI
$ network public_ip

Get private IP

Returns the IP address assigned to your first active network inteface.

network.get_private_ip(function(err, ip) {
  console.log(err || ip); // err may be 'No active network interface found'.
})
CLI
$ network private_ip

Get gateway IP

Returns the IP of the gateway that your active network interface is linked to.

    mac_address: '56:e5:f9:e4:38:1d',
    type: 'Wired',
    netmask: '255.255.255.0',
    gateway_ip: '10.0.1.1' }

  */

$ network active_interface

    mac_address: '56:e5:f9:e4:38:1d',
    type: 'Wired',
    netmask: '255.255.255.0',
