Getting To Know 10.1.1.1
As I said, it is one of the bunch of IP addresses reserved to serve as the private ones. It comes under the limit of class A IPv4 addresses (which is the first-class).
Also, 10.1.1.1 being a private IP, cannot interact outside its network(home or institution or whatever); it cannot use the internet.
Although, this situation can be used by having a VPN or a proxy as a middleman.
Internally the IP addresses belonging to this class like 10.1.1.1 have their first bit set to zero (in a binary system).
This IP address is used when you have to acquire control over a device that has 10.1.1.1 as its IP address or for blocking access as well. But that is not it. The device should be compatible with the range of the IP address.
Also, the router needs to be configured accordingly. One more thing, if your device does not use this IP address and you want it to. Then you can change your IP address to 10.1.1.1.
But it should not be used where there are clashes or even slight chances of a crash. It can mess things up badly.
For instance, you want to change your Computer’s address to 10.1.1.1, but it is already given to your router. Then you should NOT go ahead and change it. The other way round, if it is your Computer’s address, then you should not make 10.1.1.1. As your router’s address.
