little suggestion about way to detect ipv4 and ipv6 address about dnstube HOT 11 CLOSED

@s0urc3-ray Nice idea! I'll look into that.

from dnstube.

My plan is to add config variables for URLs and regex parse patterns, so you can use the endpoint of your choice.

from dnstube.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I plan to make this configurable, with an optional RegEx you provide to specify how to extract the output from the result.

from dnstube.

Except that test-ipv6.com is a vastly more complex way to get that IP address. The proper way to extract that info would be to parse the HTML (with HTML agility pack) use a xpath to get to the relevant node, then parse the IP out with IPAddress.Parse.

EDIT: Sorry I was mistaken. That test-ipv6.com site requires javascript! It cannot work with DnsTube.

@drittich Is there any reason why this project does not have it's own IPv4/v6 Lookup script running via GitHub Pages?

Then this script could be released to users who could setup their own hosting of this script.
Does GitHub's CDN have a Data Centre inside China?

Happy New Year Everybody!

@drittich Thanks! I hope it works well with GitHub's CDN which as an extra bonus should offer lower latency for most users and perfect uptime 👾

@kurtnelle This really surprised me, how could JavaScript be required for such a simple task... so as I was bored I decided to investigate the site and Discovered how unique and extensive it's testing actually is. That said, I couldn't find a URL to Lookup My IPv6 Address as I would expect to be on the main site page 😞

A few minutes later I had the IPv6 Address Lookup URL which is https://ipv6.vm3.test-ipv6.com/ip/ and returns the following: callback({"ip":"2a00:2***:****:****:****:****:****:****, 2a00:2***:****:****:****:****:****:****","type":"ipv6","subtype":"","via":"","padding":""})

It does seem very unreliable as well, I had requests failing. And why does it return the via and padding variables? 😕

from dnstube.

@s0urc3-ray, Looks like you found their magic source. Great job. Just for completeness to get the ipv4 address its: https://ipv4.vm3.test-ipv6.com/ip/
The requests failing thing may just be a rate limiter preventing multiple requests from the same IP to often.

from dnstube.

@s0urc3-ray I have no experience with GitHub Pages, but from a few minutes browsing the docs I don't see any way to get the IP address without using JavaScript. Do you have an example?

from dnstube.

@drittich Forgive me, I presumed GitHub would allow Basic Code Execution. Instead of GitHub Pages I now have to Recommend CloudFlare Workers that Do Run Server Side Code. 100,000 Requests a Day per Worker Domain on a Free Account, Will this be enough requests? Does CloudFlare have a secret plan for Open Source Software?

I'm putting together an example IPv4/IPv6 Lookup Worker now and will Reply shortly with the URL and the Workers Code.

Anybody could create their own Mirror of this Code on their own CloudFlare Account, then enter the Worker URL into DnsTube if the Requests Limit is too low for just one Worker URL to handle all of DnsTubes Requests.

@drittich, In stead of configuration perhaps a IQueryIP interface?

from dnstube.

Note you can now edit which APIs are used to determine public IP addresses in the settings.
