Hmmm. Which has prompted me to monitor the load on that page - having
just made the address public. I no longer use the resource - partially
for the reasons Bob mentioned, but mainly because I can outsource the

curl https://www.google.com.au/search?q=what+is+my+ip|grep "Client IP
address:"



Kind regards
