 No it is confusing. It only makes sense if you only use one subnet
 In my setup it works for 2001:980:42ea:1::.....
 But what about the subnet. 2001:980:42ea:fd::.....

 To me it looks like only hosts on the direct connected LAN can be exposed
 to the Internet. When you think about it. It is probably not a bad thing,
 but it is a limitation that forced upon me. I'd rather decide for myself.
