On this video, at 2:42, an example of an IP Address is 162.14.294.1 Shouldn't these numbers be between 0 and 255?

I'm not trying to nitpick, I just want to point it out because this may be confusing.

You're right, the IPv4 address space only covers numbers 0-255. Nice catch! I'm just a student like you, so I can only speculate here, but my guess is that showing an address outside the IPv4 address space was intentional so that you can't type out that IP address and find some random page on the internet
