Noob here: Why is my phone FE80... trying to talk to the Internet?

MrPete

My firewall log is jammed full of attempts by (TMobile) phone on my Wifi, attempting to talk to the outside world using its Link-Local (FE80) IPV6 address.

This seems wrong in Many Many ways.

Do I need a rule blocking Internet access from FE80? (Got an example?)
Am I missing some config item that would improve the situation?

Hints appreciated.

@mrpete

Do you have IPv6 available on your LAN? Is it working properly? You don't need a rule, as those packets aren't going anywhere.
