Pull Public IP address and Email any changes
This flow checks regularly for the public IP address of the network it is running on. It checks every minute if the ip address is the same as it was for the previous minute. if the ip address is the same as before the node exits and if the ip address has changed it will send an email with the new ip address to my own email address (i use my personal gmail using the smtp which is easy enough to setup). I also have a method setup to check if a email exists in a specific email box, then if that email contains the letters "ip" it will check the public IP address and forward an email to the same box as above with the current public ip address. I set all this up because I use Wireguard to access my home network. I am not paying for a private IP address from my ISP and they can and do change the public ip address from time to time. If i am out of the house I want to know if my address has changed and where I need to connect to using Wireguard. I know that dynamic dns is a solution I could use to make this happen but I didn't want to figure out how to set that up when I implemented this solution. It has worked pretty well without any issues so far. This flow has tolkens and my email address removed.
