"btw, you need to have at least port 80 and 443 … port 80 is missing …"

It there. But to a /8 area IPV4, all IPv6

I have not changed my exit policy for years.  Port 80 is there, just limited to a  /8  network and all IPv6 addresses port 80 allowed.
443 all there IPv4 and IPv6

Testing seems to be exiting OK, but badexit tag still there.
