Can I get my IP address in a chrome app without using an external service?

Question

I am building a chrome app and created a UDP socket via the chrome socket api.

Is there a way to retrieve your own IP address without u

Answer 1

An unconnected socket does not have a local address yet, unless it is specifically bound to an address . It only gets a local and remote address once the socket is connected (TCP) or you send data through the socket (UDP). And it only gets the IP address of the local machine, whereas an external service sees the internet-facing external address of the router if you are behind some NAT router (i.e. most home users).
