Check Public IP via wget

If curl is not installed, wget can fetch the same IP endpoint. Output is raw JSON you can pipe to jq.

wget -qO- https://rookvpn.com/check/api/ip/address

This example uses a non-curl tool. Use RookCheck or run the command in your local shell.

wget vs curl

wget is common on minimal Linux images. For HTTP method testing and headers, curl is more flexible — use RookCurl online when neither is installed.
