I recently moved to Ireland. Here I have Virgin Media fiber, and I was pretty upset to learn the router was very locked down, and I can't even port forward.<p>I have a bunch of services that I host from home, and with my previous provider (and country) I had a static IP with all the associated DNS and DMZ stuff to make it work.<p>I was about 2 days into a VPN rabbit hole when I discovered that Virgin gives out IPV6 AND IPV4 IPs, and that the v6 ones are publically routable! I was able to access my hosted service by plugging in the server and going to it's IPv6 address on my phone. Some quick Cloudflare IPV4 to IPV6 proxying later and I'm up and running as before. Can now access the service from any internet network (even IPV4 ones). No more DMZ, port forwarding, etc. Happy days.<p>So yes, I moved away from V4 in about an afternoon, no issues.<p>I'm not sure if the IP is static though. The server has a reserved V4 IP for internal stuff, I hope the router is clever enough to then keep the V6 one also static. With the address space being so large, I guess giving clients entire blocks of addresses that are static is perfectly fine?
