Add UDP interface #26

Closed buhalo1 closed 1 year ago

buhalo1 commented 1 year ago

Since ipv6 has not yet become widespread in primitive home-level local area networks and equipment used in such networks, it would be useful to add the ability to use a UDP interface for communication in such networks.

You don't need any IPv6 setup on your local network for this to work. It will work directly on practically any Ethernet/WiFi network, even without any IP infrastructure (DHCP server, routers, etc) at all.

As long as there is an Ethernet or WiFi carrier, the AutoInterface should work.
