Private IP addresses must not get out - therefore you need
set IP Masquerade between hosts using them, and Internet.
It can be done by Linux host, and allows Internet access
from hosts with private IP addresses.
Use private IP addresses like 192.168.x.y - their packets
are not sent outside, and the only need in such a case
seems to be to have IP Masquerade on some Linux host
which has also valid IP address. Also, a router between
the host and Internet, if any, must have valid address.
