I just realized that the Video is full of them, even 40 bit IPs with 5 octets...

While funny: this is common practice. If a real ip is listed someone may attempt to mess with it. This is the exact reason phone numbers shown in media are now are led with 555.

Or the 100.64.0.0/10 range for cgnat.

Using the ip 123.456.7.89 would be the easiest way to protect your ip, literally no one will be able to get it.
