Chrome 130 (Canary is currently 128) will add a notice when a website is intending to visit a website on a user private network. I will let experts on to wheter this cover IP adresses (eg 192.168.0.1 for router) as well.

What does this imply?

Will browsing through a VPN will be made more of a hassle or is this supposed to be a protection feature of sorts if something within the network is MITMing you?

Which in that case maybe bad guys will do it outside the private reserved networks such as `10.*.*.*, 172.*.*.* and 192.*.*.*`?

What does this mean if I want to audit and inspect packets within my network and I plan to MITM myself?

> Before a website A navigates to **another site B in the user’s private network**

This, to me, implies that navigating to site B manually (e.g., navigating manually to your router’s management page) would _not_ trigger this alert – only malicious\_site dot com linking to it would trigger it

Yes, sounds like they want to prevent things like the router exploits, where a malicious website could trigger a 0day in the local router using JavaScript.
