After installation the following command can be used to get the outside IP
address of your system `dig +short txt ch whoami.cloudflare @1.0.0.1`.
There is an alternative to this using `wget`.
It uses a call to Google and requests the outside IP from there.
Due to using Google there might be problems with privacy.
The mentioned command is the following
`wget -U Mozilla/5.0 -qqO- 'https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip' | grep -Po '>\K[0-9.]{7,}(?=<.{0,99}>Your public IP)'`.
