Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @ericsantos/show-my-ip
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install show-my-ip
What This Skill Does
Retrieves the public IP address of the machine running the agent by querying ifconfig.me. Returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when available.
Saves opening a browser or remembering the ifconfig.me URL when working in a terminal-only or automated environment.
When to use it
- Checking if a VPN is active and routing traffic correctly
- Verifying outbound IP before adding it to a firewall allowlist
- Confirming which server is handling requests after a deployment
- Debugging API rejections caused by IP restrictions
- Checking server identity in a multi-region setup
