no-direct-ip: Block Directly Entered IP Addresses on Chrome
no-direct-ip is a free Chrome add-on developed by OllieJC. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically categorized as an Add-on & Tools. This program aims to enhance security by blocking accidental visits to external or public IP addresses.
One of the main features of no-direct-ip is its ability to block both IPv4 and v6 addresses. This is particularly useful for security analysts and researchers who handle potentially malicious IP addresses. The program also offers an option to redirect to the default search engine, ensuring a seamless browsing experience.
no-direct-ip is a completely local tool that does not rely on external lookups or tracking. It follows the browser's dark mode and provides multi-language support on the blocked page, based on the browser's language settings. The program has been tested and supports multiple browsers including Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
For added convenience, no-direct-ip allows certain IP addresses to bypass the blocking. These include the commonly used local IP ranges such as, , , , , ::1/128, and fd00::/8.
