+### Get an IP address from the interface
+
+For some reasons if you want to get an IP directly from the interface, say `eth0` for Linux or `Local Area Connection` for Windows, update config file like this:
+```json
+  "ip_url": "",
+  "ip_interface": "eth0",
+```
+
+If you set both `ip_url` and `ip_interface`, it first tries to get an IP address online, and if not succeed, gets
+an IP address from the interface as a fallback.
+
+Note that IPv6 address will be ignored currently.
+
 ### Email notification support
 
 Update config file and provide your SMTP options, a notification mail will be sent to your mailbox once the IP is changed and updated.
