Mark private IPs as something other than "The Internet"

[bboreham]

I saw a "The Internet" cloud icon in the Scope view, in a place where my software shouldn't be connecting to the internet.

Looking closer, the address was 172.217.9.202, which is in the RFC1918 private IP space so couldn't be on the Internet - it's something local to my cloud provider.

We could have a different caption for such addresses. "Private IP" ?

"Private IP" label sounds good to me!

@bboreham are there any other IP ranges that come to your mind that should be named differently? Maybe we could also tackle those in this issue.

I'd also find this super useful - but for me the IP ranges are in the 10/8 range. These are still in the RFC1918 private IP space - so if you can make sure you get all three ranges (10/8, 172.16/12 and 192.168/16) that would be great.

There's a nice Go prototype here how to check for private IP spaces: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41240761/go-check-if-ip-address-is-in-private-network-space
