Quote:Open terminal and type "ifconfig" isn't that hard.
Sure, not hard if you're a tech.
But if you're a remote salesperson, somewhere on the road selling widgets, needing remote support, and you have never opened Terminal before, and you are getting directions from a remote tech over a cellphone, it is harder than it needs to be.
I have posted a request.
Thanks,
ft.

I wholeheartedly agree Terminal > ifconfig is not difficult if you know what you are doing.
However, it is hard if you are trying to explain it to your mother-in-law who has never opened Terminal before, talking over bad a cellphone connection, and you have to get her to find you the IP address allocated on connection to Kerio VPN out of a mess like this:

Maybe, instead, over the poor cellphone connection, I could ask my mother-in-law to type:
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | cut -d\ -f2
to just pull her IP addresses without the other stuff?

Sorry to bring this back but needed yto know the IP address of a client.
This time the user was technical.
He could not believe he had to use terminal to get the remote IP address of his machine.
It would be great if you could put it somewhere on the VPN client app.
Thanks,
ft.
