It's Friday. Time to plug IPv6 some more. :-)

LogMeIn Hamachi is basically a NAT-traversing layer 2 VPN solution. They
avoided conflicts with RFC 1918 space by hijacking IPv4 space in 5/8, now
actively being allocated by LIRs in Europe. When that didn't work (see link
above), they moved to 25/8, allocated to the UK MoD. While I'm almost sure
that they haven't got it quite so wrong this time, following the comments
says that the idea was not only a very bad one to start with, it's cost a
lot of people a lot of grief that IPv6 was clearly going to mitigate in
renumbering. Perhaps it is why they recommend it per default, if not for
the number of applications that would be broken by it.
By the way, is this an application that the new shared transition space
might benefit?
Yes, like Benson, I am at a loss for why they do not use RFC 6598 addresses.
That's what someone should tell these goofballs to do.
Unfortunately, RFC1918 and RFC 6598 are not enough to number all that
needs numbers.
Lots of love,
Goofball
