This rule can't be wide open to all and hence need to be specific because of the IT security policies at my company. </p> <p>For which I am interested to know my public IP, which is the IP address assigned by my internet service provider to that interface which is public facing in my router. </p> <p>One of the easiest way to know that is to open the terminal and execute <code>curl ipinfo.io</code><br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>~ » curl ipinfo.io wmohamma@PEM-WMOHAMMA-01 { "ip": "28.34.157.23", "hostname": "c-24-4-158-230.hsd1.cy.xyz.net", "city": "Los Angeles", "region": "California", "country": "US", "loc": "381.3396,-162.011", "org": "AS1351 xyz", "postal": "96742", "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles", "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth" }% </code></pre> </div> <p>Peace !!</p> ipaddress
