Description

Hey folks, I'm not sure it's great practice to modify functionality of Ruby core or stdlib inside a Gem that gets included into projects.

The root of my issue was:

```ruby
uninitialized constant IPAddr::PRIVATE_RANGES
```

Admittedly, it looks like I can update the gem and this problem will be resolved but what I was doing with IPAddr has nothing to do with Azure. IMO changing the behaviour of parts of a user's app just by including a Gem seems like it's going to cause all sorts of issues.

What are your thoughts on finding a different approach to this?
