WAN IP Address from roDeviceInfo

Is there currently a way to retrieve the WAN ip address directly from a Roku device? Could this be done by using roDeviceInfo? Thanks.

There's no way to get it directly from the device that I'm aware of, but you could use a free service like http://freegeoip.net
The following query should get you the public IP: http://freegeoip.net/json/

Thanks Endless. This makes things a lot easier. (No more geocoding scripts.)
