Hello, I’m Taylor Blake. I am a Lead Cybersecurity Architect and Network Infrastructure Specialist with over 15 years of hands-on experience designing, securing, and auditing critical enterprise perimeters.
Throughout my career, I have worked alongside multinational enterprises, cloud providers, and financial institutions to defend network topologies, perform security audits, and guarantee strict compliance with industry specifications—including IETF RFC standards.
Areas of Core Expertise
- Perimeter Security & Defense: Deploying stateful inspection firewalls, IDS/IPS architectures, and secure ingress policies.
- Enterprise Network Design: Core routing/switching, BGP configuration, complex VLAN trunking, and redundant topologies.
- Compliance & Standards Auditing: Verifying internal systems and protocols against RFC 1918 (private IPv4 routing), RFC 4193 (IPv6 Unique Local Addresses), and standard IETF guidelines.
- Anonymization & Privacy Protocols: Auditing VPN gateways, proxy nodes, and routing configurations to protect metadata.
Why I Built IS IP Public
Most IP lookup and subnet utilities are bloated, ad-laden, or track user inputs on their servers. When dealing with internal network architecture or sensitive ranges, logging these queries represents a potential security risk.
I built IS IP Public as a fast, clean, 100% client-side tool. It allows network engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and developers to check addresses and subnets with confidence, knowing their inputs never leave their local browser.
