Major Hayden has created the epic site icanhazip.com which will show your current IP address. There are a few more additions to know about as well. Here is the scoop!

Show your IP address:

http://icanhazip.com

By default, this may show either an IPv4 address or if on an IPv6 enabled network will show your IPv6 address. You can force viewing either IPv4 or IPv6 by using the following URLs:

http://ipv4.icanhazip.com

http://ipv6.icanhazip.com

Perform a traceroute:

http://icanhaztrace.com

Force IPv4 or IPv6 traceroute:

http://ipv4.icanhaztrace.com

http://ipv6.icanhaztrace.com

Show your Reverse DNS record (PTR):

http://icanhazptr.com

Show IPv4 or IPv6 PTR:

http://ipv4.icanhazptr.com

http://ipv6.icanhazptr.com

Use curl!

Apart from a browser, one can also use curl to interact with these urls as well. Again with no arguments on an IPv6 enabled network this will return IPv6. IPv4 peeps, you get an IPv4 back. Using tack 4 or tack 6 will specify IPv4 or IPv6.
