How to Identify Specific IP Addresses on a Linux System
Linux systems can have multiple IP addresses simultaneously for loopback, LAN, VPN, and container interfaces. The command `hostname -I` lists addresses but not their associated interfaces. A more detailed view linking addresses to specific interfaces can be obtained using `ip -br addr show`. To determine which IP the system will use to reach a specific destination, such as an external server, the command `ip route get` can query the kernel's routing table.
