If you already have IPv6 connectivity by autoconfiguration and still want to
use it for communications that are unrelated to this network, then:

use ``--default`` option).
- your kernel must support source address based routing (because the re6st
default route will need to contain a source address in order to forward re6st
packets through the re6st network).
- you must set ``net.ipv6.conf.<iface>.accept_ra`` sysctl to value 2 and
trigger SLAAC with ``rdisc6 <iface>`` to restore the default route if the
kernel removed while enabling forwarding.

Important note about ``--default`` option
-----------------------------------------
When re6st is configured to route all your IPv6 traffic (``--default``),
any other interface providing IPv6 must have no default route. Otherwise,
re6st either refuses to start or aborts if it detect a default route.
Correct usage of NetworkManager

It is required to configure properly every connection defined in NetworkManager
