ip a command will conveniently show the addresses assigned to your network interfaces, but oftentimes this is not what the internet sees your machine as.
So how to find your public IP address from command-line?
If you want to find your public IP address using the command line, you can utilize tools like "curl" or "wget" to request a service that displays your IP address. For instance, you can enter the command "curl ifconfig.me" or "wget -qO- ifconfig.me" (without quotes) in the command line. These commands retrieve your public IP address and display it on the screen. This technique enables you to quickly determine your public IP address for various networking purposes.
