### WhatsMyIP
This tool is a very simple HTTP Server:
It returns the `REMOTE_ADDR` to connecting HTTP clients.
In other words: *It tells you what your current IP is*.
#### Installation
All this server needs is Python 3.3+ (there's a branch with support for Python 2.7+ too).
So, get Python first, then download the project from
or clone the repository.
#### Usage
Start the tool like this:
./whatsmyip.py --host :: --port 8080
It should be run a a computer or server that's reachable over the Internet.
Then any client requesting http://serveraddress:8080/ will receive its
IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) back from the server.
