So what is IP: 10.25.60.1 Hop #2
TO me looks like LOCAL network IP same as my Open VPN (local) IP: 10.17.232.1 Hop #2
Edit:
Got answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/777866/why-is-tracert-showing-a-private-ip-address-right-after-my-router-even-though-i
The answer is sadly nonsense.
Your modem connects to a 10.x.x.x address that sits on a virtual interface within the CMTS.
Your router, whether incorporated into the modem or your own device with the Hub in modem mode, connects via a public IP address.
Neither of these map to physical ports on the CMTS, people can be on different line cards to you and connect to the same addresses.
There is no IP link between your modem and the line card interface it goes to a virtual interface.
The CMTS responds via the 10.x address the modem talks to. It could respond via a public IP address if the software were configured to do so, just the 10.x address responding is how the software is written to respond.
Your device just sends a packet that will trigger a response from a single hop and that hop is privately addressed.
Modems pull an IP address from the 10.x address pool and use this to talk to the CMTS for their own purposes only. The traffic from devices doesn't go via the 10.x addresses.
Packets both privately and publicly addressed flow between subscribers and CMTS. You can confirm this by tracerouting to the default gateway of your firewall/router - it'll be a x.x.x.1 address and will respond as the same hop as the 10.x address.
I'm not going to do diagrams but as a case in point
2.208.28.86.in-addr.arpa name = cpc114124-lee213-2-0-cust1.7-1.cable.virginm.net
Cust 1 - 1st usable IP address in the scope, so it talks to;
1.208.28.86.in-addr.arpa name = cpc114124-lee213-2-0-gw.7-1.cable.virginm.net
Which is reachable via the public Internet, hop before the cable modems, naturally.
