Because of the huge address space that IPv6 has, 7 out of 8 addresses will probably never be seen in real world login attempts which could reduce the effectiveness of the trained model.

I wondered if I should include the LLA fe80::/10 (well /64 really per spec), but decided against it, because these aren't the addresses we want to protect against as they are purely local and on a server setup very unlikely. (No router must be involved)
Also, I decided against ULA fc00::/7 because these would probably be more used within a company and then the other training approach of scrambling valid login attempts with other users' IP addresses would be the better method.
And so I focused only on 2000::/4 as this is the dangerous internet, as we currently know it.

Right now, this is totally untested because I am mainly looking for feedback for this approach. What do you think?

This would close #959
