[REQUEST] External ip address on net box

[kabessao]

On the net box it would be nice to have an option to show the external ip address instead of the local one. If there is a way i wasn't able to find it on the documentation.

I dislike this feature because obtaining external IP would need the program to access an external web service. Sending data to the internet is a very suspicious behavior for a piece of terminal-based system software.

wget, curl, and git are terminal-based system software that send data to the internet, but i get what you are saying, in this piece of software that is not based on sending data through the internet it would indeed be a little suspicious, but it would be nice to have an option to change that.

One way i thought is enabling the use of a command defined by the user that retrieve this kind of info, like this simple comand:

curl ifconfig.me
