Nonsense.  There are any number of ways to find out your externally
routed IP, including using your own web server itself, which is the main
target of interest.  Just have your computer regularly visit a particular
URL on the site (e.g., /exclude/home_mac).  It can even 404 if you don’t
mind that, be behind a NAT or proxy or who knows what.  Then your own
server will have a record of your “real” IP as said server sees it.  A
far better solution; no need to send me or anyone else five bucks.
