Generate random IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for testing and development - with class filter, private/public toggle and bulk generation.
This tool generates random IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for use in software testing, network simulation, dummy data population, and documentation examples. IPv4 addresses consist of four 8-bit octets (0-255) separated by dots, yielding roughly 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6, standardised in 1998, uses 128-bit addresses in hexadecimal notation and offers 340 undecillion addresses - enough to assign trillions to every person on Earth. You can filter by IP class (A, B, or C), restrict to private ranges, or generate bulk lists up to 500 addresses for import into test databases or mock APIs.
India was allocated a significant IPv4 block by APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) but began exhausting its pool around 2011, prompting TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to mandate IPv6 readiness for all Indian ISPs. As of 2023, India is one of the world's top IPv6 adopters - Google's statistics show Indian IPv6 traffic at over 60%, driven by Reliance Jio's mobile network which assigned IPv6 addresses to subscribers from launch in 2016. Developers building applications for the Indian market should ensure their code handles both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses correctly, making a dual-stack IP generator like this especially useful for testing.
