Input required from the community and users of this library. about go-external-ip HOT 6 OPEN

Hi Glen! Only found this library now. Thank you very much for making it. Seems to work fine as it is :-) Only one suggestion: http://diagnostic.opendns.com/myip seems not available anymore

from go-external-ip.

When running tests, this didn't seem to support IPV6, only IPV4. It might be a good idea for this library to support both IPV4 and IPV6, IPV4 only, or IPV6 only. This could be selected by the user.

A service supporting both IPV4 and IPV6, relatively simple, is https://ipify.org

I was trying to implement finding external ip for my sockv5er project but then thought of researching a bit to avoid reinventing the wheel. This package checks all the boxes for me. If I have any requirements or something, will surely let you know and possibly raise a PR. Thanks for this package.

Thanks for this library.
Since you are seeking input, I have opened a couple of issues (#12 and #13) with ideas/suggestions.

Great suggestions @x11x. Sadly I do not have any time or desire to continue maintaining this library though. So if someone wishes to contribute feel free to do so. If all goes well I can give that person (or team of persons) also more rights once a trust relationship is built.

The scope is pretty narrow, so I don't think it would take too much time for that person or team or persons to push this to next level. Other then that it might also be an idea to look for alternatives as perhaps by now there are more options, one being the one you suggest @x11x .

@GlenDC I love this repo and am going to maintain a fork for now (https://github.com/andygeorge/go-external-ip), and have implemented the open PRs from this repo (#11 and #14).

@x11x I'll copy over your filed issues to my repo.
