eriktews:

Usually when IPv4 routes are configured in OpenWRT, it's possible to specify a route for a single target IP such as:

config route option target '8.8.8.8' option gateway '192.168.2.3' option interface 'lan'

However, when you specify a route for IPv6, then you always have to specify a netmask, even when you only target a specific IP:

config route6 option target '2001:4860:4860::8844/128' option table 'vpn' option gateway 'fe80::1' option interface 'lan'

I think the problem is somewhere around here:

It would be nice when netifd would also allow just the IPv6 address without the trailing ///128// here, which would make the v4 an v6 routes a bit more consistent.
