Paste one of the following links into your browser if you do not know what your IP address is:

- `ip.scw.site` to find out what your current public IP is (IPv4 or IPv6),
39
+
- `v4.ip.scw.site` to find out what your IPv4 address is, or,
40
+
- `v6.ip.scw.site` to find out what your IPv6 address is.
