So, uh.

I kinda don't want to share this because:

A) it's a bad idea

B) it means it will be less unique

and

C) I got teased for it a long time ago by my other nerd friends.

But the US DOD has huge blocks of prefixes that it doesn't do anything with, presumably they use it for internal routing so every device they have could publicly route without NAT..

One of those prefixes is 7.0.0.0/8.

My home network uses that. I have never had an issue with S2S VPNs.

However, there have been a few bits of software (pfsense for example) which have RFC1918 hardcoded in some areas and treat it like a public network and overwriting it means doing the entire network setup manually without the helping hand of the system to build-out a working boilerplate.
