      Problem:
      Logs are spammed by local IPv6 5353 blocked packets.

      System > Advanced > Networking >
      IPv6 is disabled, and there is no way to avoid the block being written to the logs, therefore I tried to allow IPv6 and create a floating block rule (with no save to logs)

      To reproduce:
      System > Advanced > Networking > Enable IPv6
      check,
      Save

      Expected:
      IPv6 is enabled

      Actual:
      IPv6 remains unchecked and no feedback is given to the user.

      Fix
      System > Advanced > Firewall & NAT
      Firewall Maximum Table Entries has to be increased to 400000

      Suggestion

      • Increase Table Size by default
      • Warn user that is prevents IPv6 enable or add this info to the description
