title: Get my WAN IP address
body: <p>How can i go about programaticaly getting the IP address of my network as seen from the Internet? Its obviously a property that my router has access to when it connects to the ISP. Is there any way to get this info from a router using a standard protocol. My only other option is to either find a WS which returns my IP address (suprisingly difficult to do), or just go to something like <a href="http://www.whatismyip.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">whatismyip.com</a> and strip out all the HTML (very dirty and susceptable to change). Is there any other way??? </p>
