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)

Do you have a Pi-hole or other custom DNS setup?
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

I've no clue what else it could be then, sorry.

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.
