IP-Checker

IP-Checker is a Bash script designed to fetch and display your public IP address from multiple reliable online services. It ensures redundancy and reliability by iterating through various IP-checking endpoints. If one service fails, the script seamlessly attempts the next.

Features

• Checks your public IP address using a curated list of online services.
• Validates the responses to ensure they are valid IPv4 addresses.
• Provides detailed output, including the source of each retrieved IP.
• Offers redundancy by cycling through multiple IP-checking services.

How It Works

• This script iterates over a list of predefined IP-checking websites. For each service:
  • It sends a curl request to fetch the public IP address.
  • It validates the response to ensure it conforms to a valid IPv4 format.
  • It displays the result, indicating whether the retrieval was successful or not.

Usage

• Prerequisites
• A Unix-like environment (Linux, macOS, or WSL).
• curl installed on the system.
