How it works
List of IP addresses or subnets in firewalls tend to only grow with time.
This page takes list of CIDRs and removes all duplicates. Each IP address will be taken and compared one-by-one with all other addresses in the list. Duplicates will be removed.
For example, following IP address pairs are duplicates:
1. Identical IP addresses
10.0.0.0/24
10.0.0.0/24
10.0.0.0/24
2. One address is a subnet of another address and can be excluded
10.0.0.0/24 # is included in /8 and doesn’t need to be in this list
10.0.0.0/8
10.0.0.0/8
3. Networks are adjacent and can be merged into one (see "Merge adjacent CIDRs" checkbox)
# both can be represented as 10.0.0.0/23
10.0.0.0/24
10.0.1.0/24
10.0.0.0/24
10.0.1.0/24

- invalid IP
- is a duplicate, subnet of another subnet or was squashed
