Network / Address planning
IP Range Overlap Checker
Check IPv4 ranges before adding a VPN, office, or cloud network. Compare two lists locally and export overlapping pairs for review.
Compare network ranges
Existing networks against planned additions
One IPv4 CIDR, single IP, or start-end range per line. Add an optional name before the address, separated by a space or tab. Up to 500 entries and 256 KiB per list.
Example: Head office 10.0.0.0/16
Example: VPN 10.0.10.1-10.0.10.100
Only ranges across the two lists are compared. Network and broadcast addresses are included. Overlap may be intentional; this checks address ranges, not connectivity or routing.

Paste existing and planned IPv4 networks, one entry per line.
Check for exact matches, containment, and partial overlaps.
Review the ranges and download every overlapping pair as CSV.
Practical guide
Check address overlaps before connecting networks
Compare your existing IPv4 networks with planned VPN, branch, or cloud ranges. All input stays in this browser tab, and the downloaded HTML works offline.
Common uses
- Review an office or cloud network before connecting it to your existing network.
- Check a proposed VPN address pool against deployed subnets.
- Export overlapping pairs for a network design review.
What to expect
- Input formats
- Paste one CIDR, single IPv4 address, or start-end range per line. An optional name comes first, separated by spaces or a tab. Each list supports 500 entries and 256 KiB. IPv6 and file import are not supported.
- Worked example
- Existing: Head office 10.0.0.0/16. Planned: VPN 10.0.10.0/24. The existing network contains the planned network; the overlap is 10.0.10.0–10.0.10.255.
- CIDR boundaries
- 10.0.10.34/24 is checked as 10.0.10.0/24, with an explicit notice. A single IP is checked as /32. Leading-zero octets are rejected to avoid ambiguous notation.
- Review and export
- Results distinguish exact matches, directional containment, and partial overlap. Review 50 pairs per page; CSV includes every pair, with original line numbers and formula-safe names.
