We generally use randomly selected 10.X.X.X subnets for private
addresses, which tend to avoid such issues. In fact, we've never had a
user or partner with conflicting IP space issues on a VPN since we
switched to that scheme almost ten years ago. Everyone seems to use
something in the 192.168.0.0/16 space, so we just don't ;-).
