The documentation ( https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/reserved-ips/how-to/outbound-traffic/ ) mentions an example IP address under section 'Prerequisites', text: "The command returns an IPv4 address, like 198.51.100.237". This IP address looks like an external/public IP address. However, for droplets from DigitalOcean as to my experience, the CURL command returns an internal IP address, like "10.18.0.1".
I spend too much time, researching why the result of my CURL call to
was giving an 'internal IP', instead of an 'external IP' that the documentation would say it would.
Please mention an internal IP like "10.18.0.1".

Thanks for the feedback. The "198.51.100.X" address range we used is reserved for documentation, but I can see how it could cause confusion. I've reworked the language to not need an example IP at all. The updated docs will be live shortly. Thanks again!
