Similarly, 10.0.12.15 is in the 10.x.x.x range and also qualifies as a private address. The address 172.18.188.67 is valid as it is within the 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x range. Each of these private addresses can be utilized by devices within a local network without risking address conflicts on the Internet. In contrast, the address 204.123.45.67 is part of the public IP address space and is not designated for private use. This address
