🧮 Subnet Calculator (IPv4)
Enter an IP and CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) to calculate network ranges.
Private vs Public IP Addresses
Public IP Addresses are assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and are unique across the entire global internet. When you search "what is my ip address", this is the number that appears. It allows external servers to know where to send data back to you.
Private IP Addresses are used within local networks (like your home Wi-Fi or corporate LAN). Your router assigns these to your devices (phones, laptops, smart TVs). They are not routable on the public internet. Common private IPv4 ranges include:
- 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)
- 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)
- 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)
Your router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to map all your private internal IP addresses to your single public IP address when communicating with the outside world.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 is the older standard, using 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.0.2.1). Because there are only about 4.3 billion possible IPv4 addresses, we officially ran out of them years ago.
IPv6 is the newer standard, using 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). It provides virtually unlimited addresses, eliminating the need for NAT and improving routing efficiency.
