Occasional timeout with api.ipify.org about cloudflare-ddns-client

I am not sure what would be best practice. Guess we can live without a new issue 😄.
I reviewed your change. Please respond there.

Thanks for providing those other services, I will look into it.
5 services seem enough tho, after all of these failing I would generate an error asking the user to check his internet connection.

Hey, @zaanposni! This still seems like an issue, was the exception handled correctly?

I am not entirely certain, but I feel like the issue may lie with this line? Only a single dot is outputted?

Ah, I believe newlines must be stripped!

Yeah, I also thought about that. Can you open a new issue, as this is not directly connected to "Occasional timeout with api.ipify.org"

[Snuggle]

Oops! A tiny bit too late, I've proposed and tested a fix in PR #43. Would you still like a new issue opened?
