hopefully it will prompt them to come here and ask questions, if they're
stuck.

I hope the RFC1918 check is already made. If not
it could be added.
As I wrote before, there have been reasonable checks in place but
people here
have asked them to be removed because they wanted to do what the
checks prevented.
(like setting up a gateway with external address in net-44)
Maybe if the portal can flags specific issues, it could can then
display additional options like say:
- RFC1918 address space (10.x.x.x/8, 172.16.x.x/12, 192.168.x.x/16)
is not an allowed gateway address as it's non-routable over the Internet
- Specifying a 44.x.x.x address for a gateway is illegal except for
very limited situations (this 44.x.x.x gateways address is BGP hosted
and you still want access to the IP-IP tunneled system)
- IPv6 address space is not supported today
- etc
then under all that, offer a "bypass checks" option to let them do
things anyway?
