I used to use this site until I found https://checkip.amazonaws.com/. Switched because I wasn't sure who was behind icanhazip.com and it's tough to beat AWS. Glad to hear that it will likely be maintained for awhile longer!

Does that one only do IPv4?

Seems so. But ipv6 is much more likely that your local address IS your global one though translation still can occur.
