Ha, I was using 1.1.1.0/24 as my local intranet as an expirement with dnsmasq a few years back. I got scolded for it, rightly so, but I figured as no-one was using 1.1.1.0/24 at the time it was OK.
I see I am not the only one who did so.
- ericfrederich 9y agoWho scolded you for it? Wouldn't that just mis-route legitimate traffic to 1.1.1.0/24 locally instead of to the internet?... but you probably had no legitimate traffic there anyway, right?
- 0xfeba 9y agoWho? I don't remember. Someone on HN/reddit. It was a mild scolding in the same vein as in the article. And yes, that's what it would do. And no, I didn't. Made it easier to type in IPS, that's for sure.
- ericfrederich 9y agoOh, okay... I thought it was your ISP or something. That is why I was wondering how anyone would even notice.
