Because an interface might have multiple IPv6 addresses, sometimes the local address of the tunnel might vary periodically. If a user needs a consistent IP address, select either the Using Primary IP Address or Specify the local gateway IP address option, or configure the VPN policy to be bound to an interface instead of a Zone. With Specify the local gateway IP address, specify the address manually. The address must be one of the IPv6 addresses for that interface.
