I know that a lot of VPN users have it as a homepage to their browser, that is why I wanted to publish this warning.

You can replace it with:

    This is a service provided by some DNS hosts, with their own special subdomains, and is not universal. They may also require slightly different options.

    Other options include:

    • Google (query for txt record): @ns1.google.com o-o.myaddr.l.google.com

    • Akaimai (query for txt record): @ns1-1.akamaitech.net whoami.akamai.net

    • Cloudflare: @1.1.1.1 whoami.cloudflare

    • Cisco (there are four, as far as can tell): @resolver[1-4].opendns.com myip.opendns.com

    …and likely others.
