How to view the proxy exit IP under Linux? Come and offer your advice!
Solved#Export agent#
I am using a proxy in the Linux system and now I want to know what the proxy exit IP is in order to confirm whether the proxy is working properly and where the data is flowing out from. But I'm not sure how to operate specifically. Are there any friends familiar with the Linux system who can tell me some simple and effective methods to view the proxy exit IP? I hope to have detailed steps. Thank you very much!

In the Linux system, you can view the proxy exit IP in the following ways. First, use the curl command. If it is not installed in the system, install it first. Execute curl ifconfig.me, and this website will return your exit IP address. If the proxy is configured correctly, the returned IP is the proxy exit IP.
In addition, you can also use the curl ipinfo.io/ip command. ipinfo.io is a service that provides IP - related information, and this command can also obtain the exit IP.
If you want to view it through a DNS tool, you can use nslookup myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com. It will query OpenDNS's public DNS server, and the returned address is the exit IP.

You can try using the wget command. Execute wget -qO - http://ipecho.net/plain, and the result returned after execution is the proxy exit IP address.

You can also achieve this by using the dig command. For example, dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com, and the result obtained is the exit IP.

With the help of the traceroute command, but this method is a bit more complicated. First, traceroute to an external network address, look at the routed nodes passed through, and analyze which one may be the IP corresponding to the proxy exit node.

If it is an HTTP - based proxy, modify the environment variables, for example, export http_proxy="http://proxy address:port", and then use the IP - obtaining command to get the proxy exit IP.

Use the nc command, for example, nc -vz ip.cn 80. The IP obtained after a successful connection may be the proxy exit IP (judgment is required according to the actual situation).

Use the whois command in combination with known proxy server information, analyze the returned results, and it is possible to find the proxy exit IP, but this method is rather cumbersome.
