Why you shouldn't trust a stranger's VPN: Plenty leak your IP addresses

Re: More crap to block because people design protocols without thought!

The reason I use my own subnet is because when I'm consulting and VPN into other networks I might get 10/8 or 172.16/19 or 192.168/16 addresses on the other end. This way I don't have to worry about address conflicts - though granted I could probably hide a little /24 inside 10.x with very very low chance of a conflict...

I figure I have it so I might as well use it, but I have thought about selling it, since a class C can be sold for about $4000-$5000 these days! If only I'd tried to apply for a class B back then, if I'd been able to hold onto it all these years I could practically retire on it :)
