The toolbox

Free Developer Tools

Small, fast utilities for people who work with proxies, scrapers and networks. No login, no ads — each tool runs in your browser or against a single read-only endpoint.

Block Replay

Request one URL from a datacenter IP and residential IPs at once, and see which of them gets blocked.

      Do I Need Proxies?

      Five questions and a straight answer, including when the answer is that you do not need proxies at all.

        Open tool

        What Is My IP

        Your public IP address, the country it resolves to, reverse DNS and the headers your browser sends.

        • Public IPv4 or IPv6 address
        • Country and reverse DNS when they resolve
        • The request headers your browser sends
        Open tool

        Proxy Requirement Calculator

        Derive how many proxies a job needs from volume, deadline, per-IP rate limit, concurrency and retries.

        • Rate floor and concurrency floor, side by side
        • Retry multiplier and bandwidth for the run
        • Says whether per-IP or per-GB fits

        Robots.txt Tester

        Check a path against a pasted robots.txt and see the exact rule that allowed or disallowed it.

        • Allowed or disallowed, and the line that decided
        • Longest-match precedence, wildcards and anchors
        • Your pasted file: nothing is fetched
        Open tool

        curl Converter

        Paste a curl command and read it back as Python, Node.js, Go or PHP, with the flags translated properly.

        • Python requests, Node fetch, Go and PHP
        • Reads headers, bodies, auth, proxies and forms
        • Names every flag it could not translate
        Open tool

        Proxy Connection String Builder

        Turn a proxy host, port and credentials into working curl, Python, Node.js and Scrapy snippets.

        • curl, Python, Node.js, Scrapy and env vars
        • HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 and SOCKS5h schemes
        • Credentials URL-encoded correctly

        CIDR Subnet Calculator

        Network address, broadcast, usable range and host counts for any CIDR prefix length.

        • Network, broadcast and usable host range
        • Netmask, wildcard mask and binary form
        • IPv4 and IPv6, /0 through /128

        User-Agent Parser

        Decode any user-agent string into browser, engine, OS and device, including bots and HTTP libraries.

        Why these tools are free

        Node4 builds proxy infrastructure — datacenter, residential and rotating proxies with HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 support. These are the small utilities we reach for while working on that infrastructure, published for anyone to use. If they save you a search, bookmark them; if you need the proxies themselves, the pricing page is one click away.
