DHCP via Router so I am cheap
Wi-Fi is connected to xxxx and has the IP address 192.168.2.58.
192.168.1.x
I love my 10. range. I know its mostly used for huge networks, but it makes my life easier, as I get to remember one less number lol. Getting older aint a joke!
10.0.x.x/8 Route Bender Transit Network
172.16.x.x/12 VPN's and Shit
192.168.x.x Physical stuff
192.168.88.0/24 - standard Mikrotik + 10.0.0.224/27 connected with VPN (tunnel)
for VPN: 10.0.0.0/16, where 10.0.0.224/27 is reserved for home network.
192.168.1.x
Call me boring.
Using my subnet.
How dare you?
198.51.100.0/24 - I don’t have to worry about ending up on a network using the same rfc1819 range I do and my home vpn breaking.
Used to do this, but it made playing with new Mikrotik stuff a pain
It's coming from inside the house!
But according to RFC 5737 you are not supposed to use these addresses.
If it works, it works for you.
But some local firewall, router, wifi access point etc. might filter your own IPs/traffic, so using one of these documentation-only subnets in a real network could break things depending on actual implementations.
25.0.0.0/8 ehehe
For pete's sake. If a VPN really breaks you're home routing than use something like 10.255.255.0/24 or 172.31.255.0/24 because I have yet to see a commercial VPN provider use something like that.
Chances are bigger that you break your home network as @dfroe said.
Do you by any chance work for indian isp named "jio" because they also were using that IP range for private ip few moths back

Nope, but lots of companies actually do that. Hamachi did that back in the day, not sure if they still do
It's what Hamachi does.
10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 and public ipv6
The benefit of experience is knowing how far you can bend the rules
. I’ve managed not to block the local LAN on my home router…
Since it’s not routed anywhere I’ve had no issues. Even if I’m on a client network where they route a whole RFC1918 network internally, I still have full access to their networks and mine via a (bridged) VPN. One client is currently migrating globally from 172.16.0.0/12 to 10.0.0.0/8, and internally their UK networks use a number of 192.168’s…
