Network engineers do the same calculations every day — subnet splits, CIDR maths, address conversions — and the web tools they reach for are wrapped in ads, logins and trackers, which is a strange thing to accept from a tool you use mid-incident.
IP Toolkit is our answer: 25 purpose-built calculators and lookups in one place, free forever. The calculation tools are 100% client-side — the maths runs in the browser, works offline, and no IP data ever leaves the device — which matters to exactly the audience this serves.
The challenge
The audience is engineers who live in the CLI: they distrust tools that phone home, they notice a 200ms lag, and they leave the moment a modal asks them to sign up. Winning them means being faster than a local script and provably private.
Technically, subnetting maths has unforgiving edge cases — IPv6 at 128 bits, VLSM allocation ordering, supernet boundaries — where an off-by-one is not a cosmetic bug but a wrong network design.
Our strategy
Client-side by default was the founding decision, not an optimisation: if the computation never leaves the browser, privacy is a property of the architecture rather than a promise in a policy. Only the lookups that genuinely need the network — DNS, WHOIS, geolocation — make a request, and only when the user asks.
Every tool follows the same contract: instant results as you type, copy-ready output, and keyboard-first operation, because the person using it is halfway through a maintenance window.
The solution
The toolkit covers IPv4 and IPv6 subnetting, CIDR, VLSM planning, supernet and route summarisation, base conversions, IPv4↔IPv6 mapping, MAC normalisation, IP extraction from raw text, bandwidth calculators and random address generation — plus live DNS, reverse DNS, dig, WHOIS, ASN, geolocation, DNSBL blacklist and port checks.
Each tool is its own focused page with copy-ready output blocks, so the result drops straight into a ticket or a terminal. There are no accounts, no ads and no trackers anywhere.
