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.
