Now suggesting "advertisements" two times.

When the {productname} is installed using [command]``mgradm podman install``, it sets up Podman which enables IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding.
This is needed for communication from the outside of the container.

However, if your system previously had [literal]``/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra`` set to [literal]``1``, it will stop using router announcements.

Typo slipped in.

When the {productname} is installed using [command]``mgradm install podman`` or [command]``mgrpxy install podman``, it sets up Podman which enables IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding.
This is needed for communication from the outside of the container.

However, if your system previously had [literal]``/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra`` set to [literal]``1``, it will stop using router advertisiements.
