Using the command line to find out your router's external IP address

Ever been in the position where you need to find out your IP address without having a GUI to fall back on and surf to www.whatsmyip.org or the likes?

At tips4Linux I just found a great command for it! Just fire up wget and get the address printed right there in your terminal.

wget -O - -q icanhazip.com

That's it!
