After spending some time as a contractor doing systems work for a few companies I've stopped ever assigning an internal network to 192.168.0.0, 192.168.1.0, or 10.0.0.0.
The number of times I found myself attempting to VPN into a clients network, only to find it conflicted either with my home network, or whatever coffee shop I was sitting in, was ridiculous. Depending how many hosts you need to run on your network there are huge numbers of possible subnets you could use for an internal network - do yourself a favour and keep off the ones set up be default on every router sold.
- stygiansonic 12y agoThis is also important advice if you're thinking about setting up VPN access to your home network: Do not pick the most common/default subnets, i.e. 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.0.1/24, etc. Picking a somewhat-random subnet as suggested would mitigate the problem and it's what I did for my home network.
