Tools for a clearer connection
Simple network and privacy utilities, all in one place.
IP range checker
Check whether an IPv4 address is inside a CIDR network.
WebRTC leak test
Check which connection candidates your browser exposes through WebRTC.
A clean result is not a guarantee of privacy. The test contacts Google's public STUN server, which can see your IP address.
Password generator
Generate a random password locally in your browser.
Network scanner Free download
See every device on your home network: names, hardware makers and common open ports. A small program for Windows, Mac and Linux that runs on your own computer and uploads nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to every device connected to the internet. It works like a mailing address — it tells other computers where to send the data you request.
What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1 and offer about 4.3 billion combinations. IPv6 addresses look like 2001:db8::1 and offer an essentially unlimited supply. Because IPv4 addresses have run out, the internet is gradually moving to IPv6.
What is the difference between public and private IP?
Your device has a private IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) on your home network, assigned by your router. Your router then uses a single public IP — the one shown on this page — to communicate with the wider internet.
Who can see my IP address?
Every website you visit, your ISP, and anyone operating a server you connect to can see your public IP address. It reveals approximate location and your internet provider.
How do I hide my IP address?
You can hide your IP address using a VPN (routes your traffic through a server), a proxy, or the Tor network. These replace the visible IP with the server's IP. Read the full guide.
Why does my IP address change?
Most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that can change when your router restarts or after a period of time. Static IPs are a paid option offered for businesses and servers.
Why is IP geolocation inaccurate?
IP geolocation databases map IPs to regions using ISP registration data. Accuracy is typically city-level at best, and mobile or VPN connections can be mapped to distant cities.
