Motivation
At the moment the ip address scope of ipv6 addresses is required to be appended to the a whitelisted address, as the scope is added to the ip by default. While we're already removing the address scopes during the initial setup, we're not removing them when actually checking, leading to the issue that people need to find out and append the scope to addresses in the whitelist.
Modification
Ensure that we strip the scope from addresses in the whitelist (to not break existing setups) and remove the scope from client addresses when checking.
Result
The address scope is no longer taken into account when checking whether a client is allowed to connect to the node.
