What IP is a graphical-based simple network information tool which provides information about IP address and listening ports. It is written in Python and GTK3. It is released under GPL3 license and the source code is available in GitLab.

Features

  • Get public, virtual, or local IP address.
  • The IP address is based on our location and it helps to verify our VPN connectivity.
  • Test the listening ports and check if they are publicly available.
  • List all devices on your LAN.

Installing What IP – Network Information Tool in Linux

We need to have Flatpak configured on the system to install What IP from FlatHub. I am using Linux Mint 20.04 which has Flatpak enabled by default. Before proceeding with the installation make sure the Flatpak is configured on your distribution. To configure Flatpak take a look at setting up flatpack on Linux article.

Run the following command to install What IP from FlatHub.

$ flatpak install flathub org.gabmus.whatip

Launch the application by running the following command.

$ flatpak run org.gabmus.whatip

When you launch the application, the information will be popped up to confirm to connect to a third-party service to retrieve geolocation information. Select “Yes” or “No” based upon your choice.
