right click your connection icon and click on Connection Information.

I didn't know about it, and is good and easy, but... I'm running firefox like a browser and I downloaded the application called Anonymox that change your IP, plus I'm running a VPN which is connected in a server in Sweden let's say... When I make right click in my icon connexion and select connection information is giving me an IP, that is always the same even if I disconnect both vpns, the anonymox one from firefox and my private one, but if I check in the websites tracemyip.org or whatismyip.com this are giving me different IP's...

Which one is the good one and how can I know that I'm surfing anonymously???

If your familiar with conky you can use it under
a 100% transparent unity panel.

The line in your conkyrc would be

${execi 300 curl ifconfig.me}

or you could save this script as whatismyip and
bind it to a shortcut key.
It will show your IP in the notification bubble.(May need to install curl)

#!/bin/bash

ip="$(curl ifconfig.me)" &&
notify-send "IP ADDRESS" "$ip"

Thanks a lot I just installed it and show me the ip for some seconds, probably will back later
But, do you know anything how find out if the IP that shows there, is the fake one? I mean, I will not leave traces in other web pages?

You can go to ifconfig.me in your web browser.
This will show your public ip everyone else sees.
You will notice it changes when you enable Anonymox in firefox.

You can also run it in the terminal

curl ifconfig.me
