IP Toolkit: every IP calculation, in one fast toolkit

25 precision networking tools — subnetting, CIDR, DNS, WHOIS — that run entirely in the browser.

IP Toolkit — Network Engineering Tools
Industry

Platform
Web
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.

Frequently asked questions

Is IP Toolkit a client project or a VBRO product?
It is our own product — designed, built and operated by VBRO Technology as a free resource for the networking community.
Is it really private?
Yes, by construction. The calculators are 100% client-side: the maths runs in your browser and works offline, so IP data cannot leave your device. Only the lookup tools — DNS, WHOIS, geolocation — make a network request, and only when you run one.
Which tools are included?
25 in total: IPv4/IPv6 subnet and CIDR calculators, VLSM, supernetting, base conversion, IPv4↔IPv6 mapping, MAC normalisation, IP extraction, bandwidth calculators, plus DNS, reverse DNS, dig, WHOIS, ASN, geolocation, blacklist and port checks.
What does it cost?
Nothing — it is free forever, with no ads and no premium tier. It exists because we wanted these tools without the noise, and we suspect other engineers do too.
