[Bug]: ${addrs} now reports gateway's address instead of machine address.

[BayouGuru67]

What happened?

In the latest version (1.19.2 AppImage) the command ${addrs enp6s0}, which used to give me my LAN ip address, now is reporting the ip address of my gateway instead.

${addr enp6s0} DOES show my LAN IP address, as it should.

It would be nice if ${addrs} could be programmed to show the WAN ip4 address if not the LAN ip4 address. That would actually be useful. We already have a variable for the gateway's address.

It would be nice if I could (relatively easily?) install a current man page for conky. I do not understand the instructions on the site, as they seem to be geared to people who are compiling from source, not those who are using the AppImage, and I am therefore having to use the online Linux Man Pages instead as a reference.

Which version were you running when this worked as expected? I don't believe anything has been changed around how ${addrs} works in quite some time.

[Caellian]

Related to #1001. Would likely be fixed by #1001.

[Caellian]

I'd like to keep this issue open if you don't mind. I'm not sure when #1001 will be merged because I'm stuck in a complicated state where the code compiles but doesn't work because async C++ is harder than I anticipated. It will get closed once #1001 is merged and you'll be notified.
