    Does each provider have their own? Most of the ones I’ve had your local network was 192.168.0.1, but my recent one is 10.0.0.1.

    It’s all just modem access I’m guessing in the end and they can choose mostly what they want?

      No, 127.0.0.1 is the loop back, so it doesn’t even leave the machine and doesn’t need to be connected to any network.

      Those are non-routed IP blocks. 127.0.0.1 is the machine you’re on, the localhost.

      Which block of private IPs your local network uses depends on how your router/DHCP server is configured. If you’re using the standard router your ISP provided then whatever default settings on that will determine your local subnet.
