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 It is also worth to mention that IPv4 documentation network blocks are 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, and 203.0.113.0/24. IPv6 documentation network block is 2001:DB8::/32. See RFC 5737 and RFC 3849
@milosz fun fact! There are documentation ranges for MAC addresses as well!

I was years into my career before I stumbled across that while doing a side project.
