It seems like the A record for ipv4.icanhazip.com has been removed. :(

It's down for me as well.

Note: This might have to do with the latest announcement at https://major.io/2021/06/06/a-new-future-for-icanhazip/.

Adding a 1.1.1.1 as a DNS server for my computer fixes it:

@major - do you know if anything changed in terms of DNS Configuration post-acquisition? 😀

I think there was a bit of a lurch as it was transferred over and DNS records were updated, but it seems to be fine now.

Still offline here, west coast US.

Same. Texas.

edit: annnnnnd it's back

For me both ipv4.icanhazip.com and ipv6.icanhazip.com both return A and AAAA records, which kind of defeat the purpose of those subdomains.

Would be great if this can be fixed!

Still waiting on Cloudflare to work out those bits. They've let me know that it's getting attention on their side.

In the meantime, you can always do curl -4 icanhazip.com or curl -6 icanhazip.com to ensure you get the right results.

Down again

Can't see any issues from my home and from a few cloud deployments. I don't run the site any longer (Cloudflare runs it), so there's very little I can do here.
