The mysterious IP I received: 172.31.128.1

Ok so I’m getting more used to the forum now. Anyways, I wanted to create a repl based off the title it gave me. “TinyAgressiveFirewall” Now assuming you understand what a firewall is, it of course mingles with internet. So I turned the “firewall” 's normal mode on: 7 times I get an accepted call from 172.31.128.1. With no message. About every half minute or so it keeps sending me calls. I traced it bck to some random replit code with the same IP but nothing really pointed it to the calls.

Its probably something really stupid and its a common feature and how did I not know or something…

Very interesting when I look up the location I receive a “reserved” error message.

EDIT: preliminary research shows that 172.31.xxx.x IPs are private

Then either Replit’s hiding something or they don’t want people messing around with their code. Most likely the latter. Case solved.

EDIT: Slapped it into good ol’Opentracker out of curiosity. Yielded no good results.

What I find weird is the fact that demographic data is on for a server that nobody is going to visit.

This is almost identical to the IP address that my Repl’s server runs on. The only difference is the last digit.
