pif ships with a number of pre-defined public IP checkers. But you may extend it by defining your own ones as follows.

>>> from pif.base import BaseIPChecker, registry
>>>
>>> class MyPublicIPChecker(BaseIPChecker):
>>>     uid = 'mypublicipchecker' # UID of the checker
>>>
>>>     def get_public_ip(self):
>>>         # Implement your logic
>>>
>>> registry.register(MyPublicIPChecker) # Register the checker
>>>
>>> get_public_ip('mypublicipchecker') # Get public IP using the preferred checker
