<html><head></head><body><div>Thanks, Akkana.</div><div><br></div><div>It works for me using the -4 flag. I did not find that before.</div><div>Using debian, I typed in sudo apt install dig, and I got "Unable to locate package dig." That's not a big deal.</div><div>The "crap" that I got from the host command with pipes was the word "Address." I guess that parsing didn't work correctly because the command with pipes assumed IPv4, but the output had IPv6. When I added the -4 flag, it came out perfect.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's another thing interesting to note.</div><div>When I ssh -D 8080 into a server:</div><div>1) I can use the foxyproxy plugin with firefox, and the public IP address in the browser shows up as the server IP.</div><div>2) in CLI, from the server prompt, it shows the server IP.</div><div>3) in the terminal from a different tab, from the local folder prompt, it shows the local IP.</div><div><br></div><div>I was wondering if the server IP would carry over to a different terminal tab. My test so far says no. I wonder if there's a way (similar to the foxyproxy plugin) to get a local folder prompt to have a VPN-type functionality, to show the server IP.</div><div><br></div><div>In gratitude,<br>LeRoy</div><div><span><pre>-- <br></pre><span style="caret-color: rgb(46, 52, 54);
