Description
After configuring a remote access OVPN server, with IPv6 address for the tunnel network and the local network, the automatically added gateway is using a:b:c:d::2 as the gateway/monitor instead of a:b:c:d::1. The gateway is reported as down, but if I set the monitor address to a:b:c:d::1, it goes up. Clients are able to connect and communicate in either case. Should the gateway be ::1 or ::2?

For a remote access server there is no "gateway", so it tried to guess (incorrectly). Probably not a great solution here. Setting it to xxx::1 just makes it monitor itself which isn't worthwhile. Disable gateway monitoring and you will be better off.
