FAQ

What is the difference between private and public IPs?

Private IPs (like 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x) are used inside local networks and cannot be routed on the public internet. Public IPs are globally unique and routable.

Does it check if an IP is actually in use?

No — this tool validates the format and classification only. It does not ping or scan the address. For connectivity testing, use ping or traceroute from your terminal.

How are IPv6 addresses validated?

The tool checks the IPv6 format rules: 8 groups of 1-4 hex digits separated by colons, with support for :: shorthand (zero compression). It validates group lengths, the single-use rule for ::, and character set constraints.
