    Back in the days I had an ISP that offered me IPv6 network, it was really easy to self host things over the internet, because IPv6 is unique to all devices, so the server had its own IPv6 global address, which I could access from anywhere with IPv6 connectivity. No more dealing with port forwarding (considering that the ISP didn’t block the forwarding of ports). Just a firewall setting and voila, the service was accessible. It’s that simple.
