I  remember  something  similar from my main router, which is a fli4l.
When  the WAN interface goes down there, it assigns a dummy IP address
of  10.111.112.113  to  it.  Is  my  assumption correct that this is a
necessity,  and  monowall  unfortunately  uses  10.0.0.1  as  that  IP
address, colliding with my LAN?
