@JulianOliver@mastodon.social Digi Romania uses CGNAT for IPv4, residential contracts only have dynamic DNS, you can request a subdomain on .go.ro or .home.ro. You cannot get a static IP for a residential contract, you must have a business contract, and each static IP costs €1-2/month.
I personally just use Cloudflare Tunnel to forward my self-hosted services to my .alextecplayz.com subdomains, such as immich and vaultwarden, and previously radicale.
I never use IPv6 since I don't know much about it and frankly networking was never my forte. But I think it works, you just have to set up the router to receive a dynamic IPv6 address from the ISP, there is no page on their site that mentions IPv6, and presumably there's no difference yet between residential and business for this.

@alextecplayz@techhub.social Very interesting, thanks. CGNAT can be particularly frustrating, and I understand why you've arrived at that solution. Great you are selfhosting. I've been meaning to spend more time with Immich. Learning IPv6 can seem intimidating at first but once you grasp a few fundamentals it is not so, & brings so much flex. Being able to DHCP6 and get a nice subnet to play with, you could then avoid CloudFlare, which I'm sure you know bring some privacy & sec challenges of their own!
