This will not work if your host has some private addr which is NAT'ed by a
router; the real test is ask some remote side "how I do apear to you?"
ofc you could do this as well by SSH'ing to some side and asking with
netstat(1) there (which may be shows another NAT'ed addr too :-))

Trust me, the above lynx is the nearly only robust version.
