ia-na isnt necessary #5

Open djzort opened 1 year ago

The ia-na configuration just adds another ipv6 address to the wan interface of the firewall. It isn't necessary.

You may wish to exclude it entirely or just note it as optional.

I just felt that it was worth mentioning,

I was wondering about this recently. This would save another IPv6 address to be used as a subnet correct? Is there any benefit of WAN having a IPv6 GUA?

Thank you for the feedback, testing without it now and ill update the documentation to reflect that.

The reason to have it would be if someone wanted to do port forwarding from the firewall to mask the server providing the service or similar. Otherwise, routers can and should just use link local imho so they have no interfaces "exposed" to the internet.
