Try 'netstat -rn'. It'll give you something like this..
[jim@blues:~]$ netstat -rn
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
Expire
default 203.37.7.2 UGSc 11 0 tun0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 41002 lo0
203.37.7.2 203.37.48.130 UH 12 0 tun0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that should be your ip
Also, 'ifconfig tun0' will provide it as well..
[jim@blues:~]$ ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 203.37.48.130 --> 203.37.7.2 netmask 0xffffff00
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's your ip
Hope this helps,
