I want to give Ip address to my new node . I have got the pubkey for my node , on the lightning.exe application ,but could not set IP address to my node so that it can be seen publicly on the site "https://explorer.acinq.co/#/faq". I have already created 4 channels also but need way to enter IP address.

Congratulations on getting your Lightning Node up!
To get your server's external IP, you could try the following command/service:
$ curl -s http://whatismyip.akamai.com/
The response will be your external IP. For example 123.123.123.123.
Example Configuration for C-Lightning
Once you have the external IP, add it to the Lightning configuration. You can set the IP with the ipaddr command as follows:
$ lightningd --ipaddr=123.123.123.123
Note: You may need to stop lightningd before making this change.
Additionally, you can set the 'ip' property in the '.lightning/config' file.
1Better to use a static IP or a hostname if you can. – surjikal – 2018-04-19T05:46:22.667
Thanks, @surjikal. I completely agree, using a hostname provides coverage for a bunch of situations. However, I'm not sure that hostnames are currently supported. Are you able to confirm that hostnames work with C-Lightning? – A-Diddy – 2018-04-19T19:30:53.643
I am not sure either, it would be cool but maybe there's some security issue with hostnames.. good question for IRC. – surjikal – 2018-04-19T23:51:43.560
You shouldn't spam with the same question. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/69868/how-to-set-up-a-node-on-testnet-of-lightning-network-on-the-world-map
