Yes, the address to be used within the guest network. So it needs to be
within the guest network.

No, because ::1 isn't in the guest network.

You can use whatever IP you want, as long as it's in the guest network.
e.g. [fec0::1234] if you're with the default fec0::/64 network.

By default it's address 2 within the prefix, i.e. fec0::2 with the
default fec0::/64 network.
