Hello all:
I am still puzzled as to where the mysterious 10.0.18.1 address is
coming from, as looking at my cable modem / router, Netgear Gateway
C6300v2 router does NOT seem to show any VPN address at all being used.
But I did find out something on this Netgear which needs to be changed.
On the advanced settings page it shows that the IPV6 DNS servers are
2001:0558:feed:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 (and ::::0002)
both of these are Comcast Cable Communications LLC located in New Jersey.
What IPV6 address can be used to point to a different nameserver? I am
reluctant to use IPV6 DNS from Comcast. I am also reluctant to use
Google also, because DNS lookups can be logged.
I did lock the resolv.conf file until I can figure out where the odd
10.0.[16,17,18,19].1 address are really coming from.
Did Netgear stick in an invisible VPN connection? I don't see anything
in the Netgear Router admin pages on this VPN operation.
