Methods

FetchExternalIPAddress(Action<string>, Action<string>, string)

Asynchronously fetches the external (public) IP address of the client using a specified web service. This method typically relies on a service that simply returns the client's public IP address as plain text.

public static IEnumerator FetchExternalIPAddress(Action<string> onSuccess = null, Action<string> onError = null, string serviceUrl = "https://checkip.amazonaws.com/")

Parameters

onSuccess Action<string>

An optional callback action that receives the fetched IP address (string) upon success.

onError Action<string>

An optional callback action that receives an error message (string) if the request fails or returns an invalid IP.

serviceUrl string

The URL of the web service to query for the external IP address. Defaults to "https://checkip.amazonaws.com/", which returns a plain text IPv4 address.

Returns

IEnumerator

An IEnumerator suitable for use with StartCoroutine to run the web request.

IsLoopbackAddress(string)

Returns true if address is a loopback address, covering 127.0.0.1, ::1, localhost, and all other variants that IsLoopback(IPAddress) detects.

public static bool IsLoopbackAddress(string address)

Parameters

address string

The address string to check.

Returns

bool

True if the address is a loopback address.
