Indeed, the IPv6 autoconf=no should be set. I'll see to it.

As for the default gateway? In my understanding there should be only one 
default gateway and that should apply to all interfaces. There may be 
additional routes that direct traffic destined for an internal network 
to the interface that the internal network is connected to. Or if 
OpenVPN is present, there ought to be a route that allows traffic to be 
directed to the private network that OpenVPN clients use.

But there shouldn't be two default gateways.

At the end of the day the routing on BlueOnyx is rather simple, as it's 
designed to be an end-point and not a router. If you have complex 
routing needs that need to be handled by the BlueOnyx, then that is a 
bit outside of the scope that we provide out of the box. It can be done, 
but requires some extra fiddling on your end.
