Getting the IPv6 WAN address of my router

I have OpenWRT setup on my router, all appears to be working fine. IPv6 is working for my clients that are connected and I can ping IPv6 internet addresses from the router.Trouble is, I'm trying to get the IPv6 WAN address of my router, as it hosts some services for me (openVPN etc.).Problem is I can't find it in my router interface and when I run ifconfig from SSH, it comes back with a FE80 address, which can't be right. As an alternative, I tried "wget whatsmyip.net -O /file.html" and pulled the webpage, but the file contained my IPv4 address and only a partial IPv6 address?Kind of at a loss as to how to get to it?!EDIT: So pinging the not fully formed IPv6 I pulled from whatsmyip.net resolved back to a IPv4 address... very confused now...
