Reminder that the only safe dummy domains to use are:

- example.com
- example.net
- example.org

And nowadays there's also a safe dummy TLD: .example

These are safe because they are reserved by IANA as as special-use domain names for documentation purposes on direction of IETF in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761.

Any other domain can be registered and as such should _never_ be used as a dummy domain for documentation or as eg. an example in default configs.

@voxpelli I remember such relief figuring out that was safe to use in docs, back in the day
@avirr Yeah, same here, and when @utochin reminded me that not everyone have figured it out yet (which is quite obvious of course) that made me want to share it so that even more people could feel that relief and - um - a few more people than I anticipated felt a relief and wanted to boost 😅
