Private IP Address.md

If your Internet Protocol (IP) address is something like 192.168.1.x, chances are you are in a private network. RFC 1918 specifies a range of IP addresses for networks that are not directly exposed to the Internet. Typically these types of addresses employ Network Address Translation or NAT to route to the external Internet.
