"Looking for a reliable Random IP generator – any recommendations?"
Hey folks,
I’ve been digging around for a decent Random IP generator to help with some testing, but there’s so many options out there. Some look sketchy af, others seem outdated.
Anyone got a go-to tool they trust? Free or paid, doesn’t matter—just needs to be reliable and not dump malware on my system lol.
Also, if you’ve got tips on what to avoid, I’m all ears.
Thanks in advance!

*PS: If you’ve used one for privacy stuff, lmk how that went too.*
I've used "IP Burger" before for generating random IPs, and it worked pretty well for testing. Not sure about privacy stuff, but for basic testing, it gets the job done.
Watch out for those sketchy sites that ask for downloads—stick to web-based tools if you're worried about malware.
If you're looking for a free Random IP generator, check out "Random IP Generator" by W3Schools. Super simple, no BS, and runs right in your browser.
Paid options might be better for heavy use, but this is solid for quick tests.
Yo, avoid anything with "proxy" in the name unless you actually need proxies. Some tools claim to be Random IP generators but are just reselling shady proxy services.
I’d recommend "IPFake" if you need variety—it lets you pick countries too.
For privacy testing, I’ve used "Fake IP Generator" (found it on GitHub). It’s open-source, so no malware worries.
Downside? Requires a bit of setup, but worth it if you’re paranoid about security.
Thanks for all the suggestions, folks! Ended up trying IPFake and the W3Schools one—both worked fine for my needs.
Quick Q: Anyone know if these tools keep logs? Trying to avoid anything that stores data.
Also, big shoutout to the Linux tip—didn’t even think of using nmap. Gonna play around with that next.
Honestly, most free Random IP generators are trash. If you’re serious, just pay for "Luminati" or "Smartproxy." They’re pricey but legit.
Free tools often leak your real IP or stop working after a week.
Try "GenerateRandomIP.com"—sounds generic, but it’s actually decent. No install, no ads, just copy-paste the IPs.
Used it for a school project, and it didn’t screw me over lol.
If you’re on Linux, just use `nmap` with randomize-hosts. Not a dedicated Random IP generator, but it’s built-in and reliable.
`nmap -n -iR 10` will spit out 10 random IPs. Easy peasy.
Stay away from "SuperIPGenerator" or whatever—used it once, and my antivirus freaked out.
For testing, "Mockaroo" has an IP generator feature, plus other fake data. Pretty handy if you need more than just IPs.
