   I've got a dynamic IPv6 Address on my router WAN side reporting (via a FUGLY

   Additionally,  I can ping my router's public IPv6 address from the LAN side,   
   don't know about the WAN side.  I also can make IPv6 connections to sites on   
   the Internet, infact, macOS 11+ default to IPv6 first; and my Linux system has   
   been updated to do the same.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Scott
