Is moving to IPv6 worth it?
The question above for the most part, been reading up on it. Also want to it for learning purposes.

Wait, ipv6 doesn't require port forwarding to expose something to the internet?
Port forwarding is exclusively a NAT phenomenon.
In IPv6 every device should in theory have a public address - just like how every computer had a public IPv4 address back in the 1980s ~ 1990s.
However, most sensible routers will have a firewall setup by default that blocks all incoming connections for security reasons. You still need to add firewall rules.
This is correct. My router however doesn't have that level of firewall. It's either all allowed or nothing is.
