Privacy details

Random IP address generator processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Your result

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Examples that do not point at a real public host

IPv4 examples use the three TEST-NET blocks. IPv6 examples start with 2001:db8. Random parts are generated locally; the tool never connects to an address.

A worked example

192.0.2.7 is an IPv4 documentation example. 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:7 is an IPv6 documentation example.

Before you use the result

These addresses are for documentation and sample data, not public services or connectivity checks. Repeats are possible. IPv4 examples use last octets 1 through 254.
