Question ipconfig not showing ipv4 address

[graci117]

I have setup remote desktop for my home computer and everything would work as expected. I had a powershell script that would read the external ipv4 address. Just recently something changed and ipconfig does not show the ipv4 address. I can go to my Netgear router and in the advanced settings of my router I can see the ipv4 address. Unfortunately, it does not show using the powershell or ipconfig. Can someone please help?

What does show up when you input "ipconfig" command on a command line window?

It should show up like this as an example:

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e0e1:fc66:869e:5213%19
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.50.75
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.50.1

I do see the ipv6 like your image but I don’t see the public IP address.

I googled curl but I don’t want to use external website to get it. It does get the correct IP address though.

So how does your PowerShell script look like?

Amazon also will tell your WAN IP address if you don't trust any above mentioned websites,

curl https://checkip.amazonaws.com
