Windows 10: Windows Sandbox

We're looking into hardening Windows Sandbox on the network point of view so that the sandbox can't communicate with our LAN. This involves adding firewall rules to block this traffic. However blocking the IP address of the default gateway may end up blocking internet connection entirely to the sandbox. With some testing it appears that the sandbox may always be assigned an IP in the 172.17.x.x range. If this is the case we can block all in the 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x range quite easily without worrying about cutting of all internet or other unwanted behavior. Does anyone know of this is the case or if I got extremely lucky with the few tests I performed?
