IP Validator
Validate an IPv4 address and check whether it belongs to common private, loopback, link-local, multicast, or public ranges.
Enter a dotted IPv4 address with 4 octets. Example: 8.8.8.8
| Metric | Value |
|---|
| Octet | Value |
|---|
Privacy: validation runs locally in your browser. No IP addresses are stored or transmitted.
How it works
This validator checks:
- Whether the address has exactly 4 octets
- Whether each octet is numeric and within 0-255
- Whether the address falls into common private or reserved IPv4 ranges
Examples
- 192.168.1.10 → valid private IPv4
- 8.8.8.8 → valid public IPv4
- 127.0.0.1 → valid loopback IPv4
- 256.1.1.1 → invalid because 256 is out of range
