Why is Lemmy.world redirecting to a private IP?

Lemmy.world seems to have more crashes lately but whatever, I appreciate the work put in to keep it running.

But it just caught one of them. It was trying to redirect me to 192.168.1.9 - which is a private IP, non-routable. What’s going on? Do we need to worry about malware?

(And yes, this is exactly why I don’t use the same default IP range that every other residential user does)

Nope. Nothing fancy, all out of the box, provider dnd, flat network, default configuration, except my home network is not the default 192.168.1.*

That ip does not exist on my network nor have I any sort of filtering or ad blocking

Safari on iOS.

I've been getting a few of those too.

Can't find a 192.168.1.* (can't remember off the top of my head) address, though I'm on hotel WiFi.
