Functions

func PublicIPv4

func PublicIPv4(ctx context.Context) (netip.Addr, error)

PublicIPv4 gets public IPv4 addr by fetching IP from an external service (ipify).

func PublicIPv6

func PublicIPv6(ctx context.Context) (netip.Addr, error)

PublicIPv6 gets public IPv6 addr, first by testing available non-loopback ipv6 interface, then by fetching IP from an external service (ipify). This is a faster (local check for fast fail) and more reliable (actual request over the internet) way of detecting ipv6
