      when i nslookup or tracert a site my first hop is trough my pfsense router. What make me uncomfortable is the domain name that follows my router ip. What domain is this and how can I change it? I've done fresh install but i get the same domain

      1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  172-1-1-191.lightspeed.hstntx.sbcglobal.net [172.1.1.191]

        You cannot change it except by asking your ISP to change it.

            It's definitely not my ISP. I have 4G ISP i hooked up instead and still got the same result.

                  Hi!

                  The range of private IP addresses you can use are the ones beginning with

                  192.168
                  172.16 to 172.31
                  10

                  re: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1918

                  I guess you wanted to use something in the second range…

                  Have a nice day!

                  Nick

                    When I picked the range, I was looking for something easy to pick,

                    172.1.1.0/24 is much easier to pick then 172.16.1.1/24

                    My bad anyways.

                    Good day to you sir

                        With that logic why not just 1.1.1.x ;)
