This is like the only right answer
Thank you.
If you search DuckDuckGo: What’s my IP it shows it directly in the search
https://ifconfig.me/. Can also be be curl'd.
Easier to remember is to just search for what is my ip in clear net DuckDuckGo (or Kagi if you have it).
they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.
How exactly is a CAPTCHA supposed to discover your "true IP"?
Also note that your IP address is by far not the only thing used to fingerprint you. See https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ and https://browserleaks.com/.
Use TOR browser if you want your starting conditions to be reasonably anonymous.
Even more critical for fingerprinting is user behaviour though.
Logging in to Kagi is a great way to deanonymize yourself on Tor.
That's not what I discussed in this comment. On TOR browser, you don't need some other service to tell you your public IP address as you can see the address of the exit node in your browser.
Perhaps I was misinformed about CAPTYA gathering the true IP?
