rice.shawn Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just a quick bash workflow that might come in handy: the workflow queries "What's My IP Address?" in order to find your external IP and uses ifconfig to find your internal one(s). If you select one of them, then the IP address will be copied to your clipboard. Find it on Packal. Link to comment

And you can find one that was already there - http://packal.org/workflow/network-info That one works for all interfaces including VPN tunnels. Link to comment
deanishe Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Does this mean Packal's search needs work? Good work both of you! Edited February 6, 2014 by deanishe Link to comment
rice.shawn Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think it means that I need to look through Packal before I start to write something. Ctwise's provides a bit more information. Mine picks up a few of the internal vmware IPs, but that's probably not too useful for most people. Well, at least I didn't spend more than 20 minutes writing it. I'll update the Packal page for my workflow and put a link to Ctwise's. Link to comment
rice.shawn Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Okay. Updated the Packal page. Once the caches clear out, the note on the page will appear with the link to Ctwise's one. Link to comment
deanishe Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We all know that writing our own Workflows is far better than using someone else's. NIH Syndrome is the natural state of any developer with no deadline. Rest assured, if I need to know my machine's IP addresses, I'll be rolling my own, not using either of your workflows. Quality be damned, you probably use ugly icons or the wrong language or something Link to comment
rice.shawn Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey! I wrote mine in bash, which, I think, is about as fast as you can make it! And Ctwise's is in Ruby, which works with some incredible speed! Wrong language my <insert some word here>. The icons, well, that's maybe more open to critique. Link to comment
deanishe Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) That's exactly what I mean! Anyone with any sense would have used Python Edited February 6, 2014 by deanishe xilopaint and dlacaille 2 Link to comment
sushinger Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am using this workflow sometimes and recently discovered, that firing it will show the external IPv6. But sometimes you want to know the external IPv4 of your network. In case you want to switch "IP Address" back to IPv4 you simply need to replace the URL used in the script to fetch the external IP from icanhazip.com to ipv4.icanhazip.com To achieve this just open the workflow in Alfred, open the first step of the workflow "ip" (Script Filter) and there you find the URL in the second line. Replace it and save the workflow. Now the workflow will display IPv4 of your local network. Link to comment

dany_001 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) There is more than one way to find out your IP address, you can navigate to command prompt on your PC from start menu then type ipconfig and press enter. You'll see your local IP address listed right above the subnet mask. Or simply you may find your public IP address through many online sites such as: What's My IP Address Location - What Is My IP Address LocationWhat Is My IP Address? IP Address Tools and More Edited July 23, 2019 by dany_001 Link to comment
bilawal19 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 You can check your external IP address by opening your Web browser and direct to a website like http://whatismyip.network/. You can also write "IP address" in Google to see your IP address. IP address isn't mainly secret, and it's observable by any webpage or other online service you visit. . Still, your IP address isn't essentially publicly linked with you, and you might not need to share it too broadly for safety reasons. In case someone asks for your IP address, you should ensure why they're asking and that you feel like telling them about it, just as you would not probably like to give your phone number, home address or email address to anyone who asks for it. By doing that you would be able to find out your IP address. Link to comment
