XC-IPInfo (formerly Bo-IPInfo)

XC-IPInfo is a lightweight Windows solution that shows you both the local and the external IPs your computer is using at any given moment.

Although it may all sound like a very basic application, XC-IPInfo packs more features than you usually expect from such a tool, all of them available via a minimal GUI.

When you first launch XC-IPInfo, the application places an icon in the System Tray and, according to the standard configuration, it’s enough to simply move the mouse cursor over this icon to see the external IP address.

The main window of the program however shows both the external and the local IPs, as well as the host name, with dedicated options to instantly copy any of them to clipboard.

The configuration screen allows you to set up the program behavior in specific key moments after launching it. During loading for example, XC-IPInfo can automatically copy any of the displayed details to clipboard all by itself or don’t perform any action, while other two options are available after loading.

The System Tray icon can too be configured to show the aforementioned addresses, as well as the online or offline states.

It’s more or less obvious that XC-IPInfo doesn’t hamper system performance, but instead it works like a charm on all Windows versions and it doesn’t need administrator privileges to get along with Windows 7 workstations.

All things considered, XC-IPInfo is a very effective and easy to use utility. It comes with more configuration settings than you even need from this kind of app and remains very friendly with system resources all the time.
