A IP Address Check, written in Golang

A tool to return your external IP address. This tool with ping multiple APIs concurrently and periodically until it has two IP addresses that match.

Using the Tool

Clone the repo into $GOPATH/src and do the following:

get deps:

  # inside the repo
  $ go get

build:

  # inside the repo
  $ go build

start the server:

  #inside the repo
  $ ./ipCheck

Test

Clone the repo and do the following:

get deps:

  # inside the repo
  $ go get

run the tests

  # inside the repo
  $ go test

Multiple test servers will be automatically spun up and torn down for the integration test.

a note on testing: before any further features are added I would like to unit test the public API of this program with enough variance in data to cover all cases. Due to time restrictions this has not been possible
