127.0.0.105



Here you can find all lookup results for loopback IP address 127.0.0.105 which is located in 127.0.0.0/8, a reserved range for loopback addresses to the local host (RFC 6890).



IP address 127.0.0.105 is registered as a loopback interface address, which is also known as localhost or local host. In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that means this computer. It is used to access the network services that are running on the host via its loop back network interface. Using the loop back interface bypasses any local network interface hardware.
This type of address is also used as a means to validate that a locally connected physical networking card is working as expected and the TCP/IP stack is installed.

This local mechanism is useful for testing software during development, independently of any networking configurations. For example, if a computer has been configured to provide a website, directing a locally running web browser to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 may display its home page.

Using 127.0.0.105 for testing purposes

Using 127.0.0.105 for testing purposes, also known as a loopback address, allows you to test network-related functionalities on your local machine without involving external networks.

Here are some common scenarios where you might use this address for testing:

Testing Web Development

If you're a web developer, you can run a local web server on your machine and access it using https://127.0.0.105 in your web browser. This allows you to test websites or web applications without deploying them to a live server.

Database Testing

When developing database-driven applications, you might connect your application to a local database server running on 127.0.0.105. This allows you to test database interactions without affecting a live database.

Network Service Testing

If you're working on a network service or application, you can set up the service to listen on 127.0.0.105. This enables you to test the functionality of the service locally without involving external servers or networks.

Testing APIs

When testing APIs or microservices locally, you can set up your development environment to use 127.0.0.105 as the endpoint for API requests. This allows you to simulate interactions with an API without making actual requests to external servers.

Debugging and Troubleshooting

Use 127.0.0.105 to simulate network-related issues and debug your applications. This can be helpful in identifying and resolving problems in a controlled environment.
