hello

hello i will try to explain what i need to do in a different way, and sorry for my poor english

i need to start a new project that can get the public ip address of my internet using hostname in no-ip.com or dyn.com
those sites gives you hostname that you can put in your internet router in the dynamic ip page
so when you log to your account from anywhere you can see the current public ip of that router

now what i need is to use vb net to read that ip inside the project (not by going to no-ip.com or dyn.com)

with thanks

What I have tried:

i only where able to setup the account into the router
am new to programing and i don`t know how to solve it

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?

That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!

Not sure if you found an answer that works. I do not know which router you have or what the interface to it would be to get the information you are requesting. I needed my public IP for a project and here is the basis of the solution I use. I would add a try / catch / end try loop to watch for errors at run time.

Dim public_ip as string = fn_GETIP()
MSGBOX(public_ip)

Public Function fn_GETIP() As String
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
Dim client As New System.Net.WebClient
dim MY_IP as string = ""
MY_IP = client.DownloadString("https://api.ipify.org")
Return MY_IP
End Function
