Title: WAN IP in loopback
Post by: dave on November 03, 2024, 11:30:32 pm

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but i've noticed my WAN's external IP addr is included as a route in the loopback address... is that to be expected?

Yes. All locally connected addresses have a route pointing to lo0 in the BSD IP implememtation.
