Cache your return! You don't need to fire off for every user all the
time.
Eh, it's just on front-door access and shouldn't take long, right?
Besides...isn't there a possibility the this person's IP address could
change over time??
Aah, I see the light now after reading that page:
------------------------
PS: Please don't abuse the system, try to cache the IP for a reasonable
amount of time before doing another request.
PS2: This limit shouldn't hinder development, but there's a limit in
place now, because the above suggestion appears to have been lost on
some users:
Every IP that has a request rate of 10 calls / minute over a period of
30 minutes. Will get blocked for 24 hours.
Although the limit is clear, it would still be in everyone's interrest
if you could cache the IP for a longer period of time.
------------------------
So I'll stuff the value in the registry along with a date/time stamp and
only seek out the site for a "check-in" if older than a period of 'x'.
I'm taking that code Dave gave and incorporating this ipecho.net site as
a backup in case the first site fails to give a response too.
Thanks!
