A set of shell scripts that find usable Google IP addresses by scanning CIDR ranges, testing SSL/ping, and generating a hosts file mapping Google domains to working IPs. It automates finding, filtering, and applying the best IPs for domains like google.com.

Use cases

  • generate a hosts file for google domains
  • find working google IPs from a CIDR range
  • bypass google IP blocking via hosts file
  • test which google IPs have valid SSL and low latency
  • automatically update hosts entries from a DNS server

When to choose

  • you need to access Google services where DNS or IP routing is blocked
  • you want a lightweight shell-based hosts file generator
  • you prefer manually curated hosts entries over a proxy or VPN

When to avoid

  • you need a full proxy or VPN solution rather than hosts-based routing
  • you are on Windows without a shell environment
  • you want a maintained GUI tool
