Failed to determine external IP address with OpenDNS. #27

Closed yondermeister closed 5 years ago

yondermeister commented 5 years ago

Hello, I haven't been using gad for a few months, being busy with other stuff. In my subject line, I have indicated the error message I get 'Failed to determine external IP address with OpenDNS'

I have also found this in a previous issue that was closed:

Alternately, if OpenDNS isn't working for you for some reason, you could try using the -s flag and piping "curl ipinfo.io/ip" to your gad command.

I am at loss as to how 'piping "curl ipinfo.io/ip" is done. What syntax should I use in the command line with gad? Regards, Christophe

Hi. Were you able to figure this out? If you want to pipe your IP address on stdout, just add the -s flag to your gad command. There's an example in the README.

I am observing that problem too - I need dig -4 otherwise it makes an IPv6 request and opendns returns nothing for the A record.

So, for IPv4, you need dig -4 A, and for IPv6, dig -6 AAAA
