Noted, but 10.20.30.40 kinda trips off the tongue.

So did 1.1.1.1, which led to a lot of trouble when it started being widely used.

Unlike 1.1.1.1, 10.20.30.40 is reserved in RFC1918, you mustn't use it on the Network. So I don't have to care

(No I don't use RFC1918 addressing at home; Yes, every machine in my home has public IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses; No that doesn't make it "really easy to break in" because having an address is not the same thing as being accessible)
