Description
Always know your current real external IP-Address !
External IP is a very, very useful network tool - It shows your current "real" external IP-address in the top right corner at the status menu beside the system clock.
(seamless integrated!)
A "real" IP-address, also called external IP-address, is a IP4 address, that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or VPN provider allocates to you. This IP-address can be fixed or can change every time you "dial-in" or if you connect to a new network !!
In bigger networks, like company networks, this external IP is mostly significant for the companies routers or switches.
External IP software is extremely useful for administrators, or users, who switch their networks like VPNs and want to verify their current IP-Address with just one click or look !
Always know your current IP Address - Very important to prevent network security issues, when changing network (WIFI, LAN WAN, VPN) !
Features:
▶ Shows your external IP-address in the Finder, status menu bar, on the right side
▶ Can show your current MAC address
▶ Can show your local IP address/es
▶ Three different refreshing time intervals (1 min, 5 min, 60 min)
▶ Shows status of the refreshing interval
▶ Very low CPU and memory consumption

Ratings and Reviews
Very unhappy
On the app store this is promoted as a menubar app but this has a dock icon which cannot be removed. Most menubar apps give the user an option to show the dock icon, or not. Why on earth would I want to clutter my dock with an icon that has no purpose for an app that has such a minimal use? If the developer were to offer the option to remove the dock icon then I'd give this 5 stars but as it is now I won't be using this app and I give it one star for this regretable oversight by the developer.
Has one simple function, and almost always fails
At $0.99 no big loss, but it nearly always fails to get the IP address. Almost always showing: ‘Scanning for ext. IP-address when in auto mode, but even when manually requesting to get the IP address it fails. I’ll update my review when a software update fixes the problem. At the moment it doesn’t perform the single function it’s meant for and thus useless.
Developer Response ,
The app works brilliant - download the latest updat
