So the users were saying it *should* be possible to do this... and now they *can* do it and not raise tickets about how inferior the system is?

Well, the solution that Maurice proposed, i.e. use NPT on smaller prefixes than 64, has the drawback of potentially colliding with other tracked interfaces that should not be subject to NPT. Unless, of course, there's code in OPNsense checking this.

With the new WAN tracking feature, while retaining the configuration in 2 places, at least we're using the same prefix numbering.
