How do I find out the IP address of the external interface of my web
proxy?


Easy.. If someone were to create the web page below on an web server
somewhere on the Internet and connect to it, it would reveal the address.
Less work:  whatsmyip.com

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<font face=arial size=-1>Your IP address is: 
<?php echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?>
</font>
</BODY>
</HTML>
