@mystie it means that you could actually port forward :3
if you’re behind CGNAT due to ipv4 exhaustion, you can’t port forward

@mystie those only work for HTTP(S) (at least on the free tier)

there’s many things one might want to port forward that dont use HTTP like a Minecraft server

@mystie okay but why pay for an external service when you can just port forward on ipv6 due to everyone being able to have an ipv6 address

ipv4 addresses will continue to become more expensive and less available

@mystie many isps only offer that for commercial customers
that also doesn’t address ipv4 addresses becoming more and more expensive with time

@mystie i mean the point of ipv6 is that it will be there when ipv4 runs out of addresses and kicks the bucket itself. maybe it doesn't have any advantages but it's still pretty important
