Q: How to remove previous IP addresses from Screen Sharing list in Yosemite and later?

I use advanced routing to remotely access computers that I administer from offsite using the IP address of the location.

 

But since OS X Yosemite, when I open the Screen Sharing app (located in Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications and begin typing digits, it shows suggestions for IP addresses I have previously accessed.

 

I DO NOT want these previously-accessed IP addresses to come up. It is a security issue. These are private IP addresses that others should not even be able to see, regardless of whether other people have the credentials/login info to use these IP addresses.

 

I can't find a place where these are stored so I can manually remove them from a cache.

 

Thank you to whomever can help me locate where these are stored so I can regularly clear this cache and prevent Screen Sharing from showing previously-accessed IP addresses when making a new connection.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 32 GB RAM
