Hi guys,
For my unmanaged dedicated box, I have been given a set of public IPs, as well as one private IP. What am I suppose to do with the private one? (it got block from x.x.x.1/5)
(For my home SRCDS, I only use private IP for forwarding, same thing?)
Thanks.

A private IP really will do nothing for you on the internet. Your host might just use private IP's to identify you on their network.

Don't use the private one.

The private IP is for you to communicate with other servers on the same network without counting towards internet bandwidth.
Don't use the private IP.
