IIRC, you downloaded and ran IP_agent. That does require windows to run, it's a
windows program. grc.com offers a "Shields Up" scan that tells you you external
IP address, the IP that the Internet sees. I just navigated to the shields up
page from RedHat, https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2, running the scan is not
OS-specific.
On that screen, just navigate down past the "Free IP Agent" BS and click on the
button for "Test My Shields!". There's also a button there for a minimal Port
scan.
No download of any software should be required.
HTH,
Tim
