Why IP Fetch is Essential
| Use Case |
Description |
| Anonymity Verification |
Quickly check if your real IP is hidden |
| Network Monitoring |
Track IP changes when switching between VPN/Tor |
| Authentication Gateway |
Verifies Kodachi service authentication status |
| Offline Capability |
Works even without internet using cached data |
🛡️ ⚡ TL;DR - Essential Commands
# Get your current IP with full geolocation data
ip-fetch fetch
# or simply
ip-fetch
# Get just your IP address (plain text for scripts)
ip-fetch plain-ip
# Check if your connection is using Tor
ip-fetch check-tor
# Look up multiple IP addresses (bulk mode)
ip-fetch 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 9.9.9.9
# Force refresh cache and get latest IP data
ip-fetch --refresh-cache
# JSON outputs
ip-fetch --json
ip-fetch --json-pretty
ip-fetch --json-human
ip-fetch --ipv4
ip-fetch --ipv6
ip-fetch --both
# DNS-based IP resolution
ip-fetch dns ipv4
# Get plain text IPv4 address
ip-fetch plain-ip ipv4
# Test geolocation APIs
ip-fetch geo
🛡️ Understanding IP Fallback System
How Multi-Source Fallback Works
IP Fetch uses an intelligent fallback system that ensures you always get IP information:
# Primary lookup with automatic fallback
ip-fetch fetch
# Test all fallback sources
ip-fetch test-fallback ipv4
# Verify multiple sources match
ip-fetch verify-multi
Fallback Chain:
| Priority |
Source |
Description |
| 1 |
Kodachi Cloud |
Primary - Fastest, most reliable |
| 2 |
Secondary APIs |
Multiple backup services |
| 3 |
DNS Resolution |
Uses DNS queries for IP detection |
| 4 |
Cached Data |
Last resort using stored information |
Tor Network Verification
# Check if connection is using Tor and show IP
ip-fetch check-tor
# Get just the IP address
ip-fetch check-tor --ip-only
# Get just the Tor status
ip-fetch check-tor --status-only # Tor status without printing IP
# Get Tor status and IP in JSON format
ip-fetch check-tor --json
# Pretty-printed JSON output
ip-fetch check-tor --json-pretty
# Colorized JSON output (like jq)
ip-fetch check-tor --json-human
Authentication Integration
# Check authentication status
ip-fetch auth-status
# (Tip) Keep auth alive when running long checks:
online-auth authenticate --keep-alive
# Create debug script for auth issues
ip-fetch debug-auth
This creates a diagnostic script to troubleshoot authentication problems with other Kodachi services.
Caching System
# Force refresh (bypass cache)
ip-fetch --refresh-cache
# Manage cache
ip-fetch cache status # Show cache status
ip-fetch cache clear # Clear all cache
ip-fetch cache clear <IP> # Clear specific IP cache
Cache Warning
Cache data may not reflect IP changes when switching VPN/Tor connections. Always use --refresh-cache after connecting to VPN/Tor to get accurate current IP information.
