First, an RFC 1918 address indicates that you're probably behind an
address translator. It does not prove that other computers on the local
network are friendly. You might be on a public hotspot surrounded by
potentially hostile strangers.

Second, a solution that works only for IPv4 is not a solution in the
year 2019. You need to take IPv6 seriously, or you won't be taken
seriously.
