MyIP Tetrad
MyIP Tetrad is a simple to use terminal tool to determine your Internet-facing IP address and location from four remote sources. Developed on Go, it's a portable self-contained binary with no dependencies.
It is an excellent tool for quickly determining if your machine or network is connected to the Internet or to see if a VPN is activated.

Build
Go supports dozens of architectures and operating systems letting MyIP to be built for most platforms.
# clone this repo
git clone git@github.com:bengarrett/myip.git
# access the main.go
cd myip/cmd/myip
# target and build the app for the host system
go build
# target and build for Windows 7+ 32-bit
env GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build
# target and build for OpenBSD
env GOOS=openbsd GOARCH=amd64 go build
# target and build for Linux on MIPS CPUs
env GOOS=linux GOARCH=mips64 go build
MyIP uses the following online APIs.
The IP region data is from GeoLite2 created by MaxMind, available from maxmind.com.
I found Steve Azzopardi's excellent import "context" post useful for understanding context library in Go.
