IP Address Validator
Validate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Shows type, normalized form, and whether the address is private, public, loopback, or multicast.
IPv4 addresses consist of four octets (0–255) separated by dots, offering about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses expressed as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons, providing a virtually unlimited address space. Special ranges include loopback (127.0.0.1 / ::1), private ranges (10.x, 172.16–31.x, 192.168.x), and multicast ranges. IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated by omitting leading zeros and replacing consecutive zero groups with ::.
