iStat Pro Problem!

Hey so I just recently noticed that under the Network column on the iStat widget it says "Ext: Unknown." It's supposed to display my router's IP. So apparently iStat says my external IP is unknown. I think it may have to do with me installing the Tor bundle for Mac. I have uninstalled Tor and tried reinstalling iStat and I'm still having the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Please help!

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Seems like WhatsmyIP has stopped this service, but never fear. Next!


Here's what you do now.


Remove these 2 lines (which you added during the previous change I wrote)

extIP_len = extIP.length;

extIP = extIP.substring(16, (extIP_len - 3));


Change this line:


ipURL = 'http://www.whatsmyip.us/showipsimple.php?random='+newDate().getTime();

To this:

ipURL = 'http://api.ipify.org?random='+newDate().getTime();

And Ken, don't repost this on your blog this time and pass it off as yours, eh? ;-)
