Description

Hello,

Yesterday I discovered that my IPV6 was not working any longer, despite the fact the both IPV4 and IPV6-gateways are indicated OK on the dashboard.

After significant testing and comparing config files (old OK versions with the actual and first NOK one), I noticed that data blocks in the actual config file where still referring to the old wan-name.

With global search and replace with a text editor I could fix this IPV6-connectivity issue.
Not sure if I fixed all and also not sure about the impact of renaming other interfaces.

This issue probably affect a lot of pfSense CE and Plus versions (if you dare to rename the wan)

What makes this serious next to that this happens, is that on the dashboard every thing seems to be OK, and assuming you also have IPV4 it is not immediately clear that you have a very serious problem .....
