Helps, thanks a lot!

But as you can see this is still an explosion of complexity for the home user. More than 4x (32 --> 128), feels like x⁴ (though might not be accurate).

I like your idea of "whatever..." There should be a "lan" variable and status could be shown factored, like "$lan::2000" to the end user perhaps.

I do use DNS all the time, like "printer.lan", "gateway.lan", etc. But don't think I'm using in the router firewall config. I use openwrt on my router but my knowledge of ipv6 is somewhat shallow.
