IPT (IP Tester) is a Go language application designed to test TCP connections to specified IP addresses and ports. It provides easy-to-interpret, color-coded output to quickly distinguish between successful and failed connections.

• TCP connection testing to a specified IP address and port.
• Customizable connection timeout setting.
• Color-coded output for clear distinction of success (green) and failure (red).

• Go (Golang) version 1.x (if using go install).
• Or, directly use the provided binary for your platform.

1. Download the latest binary for your platform from the Releases page.
2. Place the binary in a directory included in your system's PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin on macOS/Linux).

If you have Go installed and prefer to build from source:

go install github.com/debek/ipt@latest

This will install the ipt binary in your $GOPATH/bin directory.

Run the program with the following arguments:

ipt <ip_address> <port> [<timeout>]

• ip_address: The IP address of the server you want to connect to.
• port: The server's port.
• timeout: Optional connection timeout (default is 5 seconds). Specify the time in a format like '5s' for 5 seconds.

• Testing connection to a server on port 80:

• ipt 192.168.1.1 80

• Testing connection to a server on port 443 with a 10-second timeout:

• ipt 192.168.1.1 443 10
