📌 Task summary

Check LAN/WAN terminology for scripts that require it.

📋 Task details

I think the WAN/LAN has been switched for scripts that require it. I installed OPNSense just now and it first asked for LAN settings and then for WAN, however, the script actually handles them as their opposites - WAN settings refer to LAN and vice versa so please verify it's all correct to prevent user confusion.

Only in the OPNSense or LXC or what?

I came across the issue on OPNSense but haven't tried openWRT or similar scripts yet.

Edit: After reviewing the settings I think I might be stupid. I assumed the UI would be accessible on the WAN address for some reason, now I see my configuration is the opposite of what I needed - WAN is on the local vnet and LAN is on my LAN.

My apologies.
