192.168.1.0/24 for home. It's tradition.

I've never liked 172.16 for anything - usually leave that for things like Guest Wi-Fi etc.

10. for work.

I'm a 10.0.0.1/23 with 10.0.10.1/23 in intervals of .10. for each VLAN to keep it easy to spot and to allow a change of scope when required.

VPNs and that kind of stuff that run off VMs where DHCP is handled by the RAS is normally in the 10.10.0.1 etc range with each protocol going up by 10. just to keep it tidy.

I have always gone for 172.6.x.x for my own personal networks. At times, I may have been working with various infrastructures and they were always on 169.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x and I this knoew whether I was on corporate or personal. It could be fun at times, with two or three PCs running simultaneously connected to infrastructure in UK, Singapore, Australia and N America.

Corporately we used to interopeate with thousands of customers, network's connected (and lots of firewall rules at each end!). A client that had 10.x.x.x had to be NAT'd to somewhere in our IP space, absolute pain in the ....

IPv6 makes this problem go away

As a service provider we wouldn’t necessarily have been able to dictate to our clients to use IPv6 though !

Certainly: https://ibb.co/ygN0nT4

I just use variation of 192.168.x.0/24 replacing the x with the year I was born, in fact I was using standard 192.168.0.0/24 forever until I ran my own VPN and found I couldnt reach my devices from a friends house who shared the same local subnet as me.....

Doesn't your username give us a clue to the value of x?

I thought he was possibly over 1800 years old ... teh X being anything from 001 to 255

Good think that he's not using IPv6

Lol, it wasnt an intention to obscure my year of birth and I was definitely not born in 2006

2006 is just a significant date to me which allowed me to use 'naylor' when all variations are taken :/...however I did have a good laugh at the speculation this morning.

192.168.84.0/24 is what I run.
