Simple use:

using IpMatcher;

Matcher matcher = new Matcher();
matcher.Add("192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0");
matcher.Add("192.168.2.0", "255.255.255.0");
matcher.Remove("192.168.2.0");
matcher.Exists("192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0");  // true
matcher.Match("192.168.1.34"); // true
matcher.Match("10.10.10.10");  // false
