### HOW TO USE ###
Using the public **TelnetMyIP.com** and **SSHMyIP.com** services is pretty easy: simply connect to them with a terminal client. You can use a telnet client with TCP port 23 (`telnet telnetmyip.com`), or a SSH client with TCP port 22 (`ssh sshmyip.com`). The SSH connection requires no authentication, but your SSH client may require you to enter a username, you can use anything you want as it gets ignored anyways(`ssh -limrootbitch telnetmyip.com`).
