Weirdly enough I grew up having inside my network during the 90s, 127.26.0.X instead of the widely spread 192.168.

It created a big trauma when I joined the uni and hit the wall. I suppose this how americans feel about the metric system :p

Does that even work? I thought all 127/8 was loopback

[dragonwriter]

That whole /8 is reserved for loopback, but sometimes (usually?) only 127.0.0.1 is implemented as a loopback if you know that that’s true of your equipment, you could use the rest of that space for local addresses instead of 192.168/16, 172.16/12 and/or 10/8.
