One thing I forgot to mention. Some consumer devices make assumptions about RFC1918 space, and will not operate if they think they're running on a public IP.

One thing I forgot to mention. Some consumer devices make assumptions about RFC1918 space, and will not operate if they think they're running on a public IP. This is what prompted me to switch back into RFC1918 for my home network (and I had long since left the company with the voracious VPN anyway). YMMV, of course, but it's something to keep in the back of your head if you plan to switch out of RFC1918 for your home network.
- EvanAnderson 5y agoWe ran into some of these different behaviors when we hit a Customer who was using the 192.9.0.0/24 network internally. (Then we hit a few more. Several police departments in Western Ohio are using that subnet internally for some reason. Some vendor in common must have come thru and done it.)
