FAQ
Can this tell me whether the IP address is actually in use?
No โ this tool only checks whether the string is correctly formatted. It cannot tell you whether that address is actually active on a network.
What is a private IP address?
The ranges 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16 are reserved for private networks and aren't routed directly on the public internet โ commonly seen behind home routers.
Is the IP address I enter sent to a server?
No. All validation happens entirely in your browser's JavaScript; nothing is ever sent anywhere.
