Module private 

Available on crate feature net only.

Helpers for IP ranges that should bypass public-Internet interception.

The goal here is intentionally narrower than “all IANA special-purpose addresses”. Some IANA special-purpose blocks contain globally reachable anycast or transition addresses, so treating the entire registry as passthrough would be too broad for proxying.
