First time I saw an internal IP that isn't "192.168.x.x"
Im pretty sure it isnt internal.
It's not internal, but there are other private address ranges beyond 192.168.0.0/16. 10.0.0.0/8 is another common one. Container platforms like to use 172.16.0.0/12.
Your router knows it's in trouble when you call it by its government name instead of its 192.168.street.name
It's a public IPv4 address in the picture.
There are 3 ranges of IPv4 addresses which are reserved for private use:
Oh wow.... Didn't know this lol. I thought that OP would be using their private IP to access their homserver from home. Turns out I got completely confused....
I think if they were using a private IP, there wouldn't really be a joke. Of course the router can resolve an IP in its network. The joke is that they're using their public IP from inside their network, and when the request gets the router, instead of resolving externally, it resolves to the public IP of the router itself.
I changed my local subnet to 10.1.2.0, because it's much easier to type.
that's really not an internal ip
It’s not internal
