bitween.components.models.helpers.helpers.get_ip_addresses()

try to get own ip addresses

Todo

in future we need more ways to discover our own addresses, for example getting addresses via upnp or from other BitTorrent clients we may have discovered

Returns:{‘ip_v4’: [ip_v4_addresses], # one IPv4 address in a list ‘ip_v6’: ip_v6} # a list of IPv6 addresses
