Home Server On IPv6-only Internet Connection?

Posted by Unknown on Thursday February 28, 2013 @01:33PM from the at-least-you-get-ipv6 dept.

RandyOo writes "I've recently learned that our neighborhood is getting a fiber optic network, with a 100Mbps connection in each subscriber's home. IPv6 connectivity is included, but unfortunately, the only IPv4 connectivity they offer is Carrier Grade NAT, due to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses in RIPE. I travel a lot, and I've become accustomed to accessing my home network via SSH, VNC, etc. It appears uPNP and PMP are unsupported by CGN. So, without a publicly-routed IPv4 address, I'll be unable to reach devices on my home network from an IPv4-only connection, such as the one provided by my cellular carrier (which also appears to be behind some kind of NAT, by the way). If the ISP isn't willing or able to sell me an IPv4 address, what alternatives do I have? I'd be willing to pay a small monthly fee for, say, a VPN service that would allow me to accept incoming connection requests on a range of ports on their Internet-facing IPv4 address. Does such a service exist?"

Sorry, I guess I'm just bitter at slashdot becoming far less technical and more general purpose. Or maybe it's that these questions are so brain dead simple that they seem like disguised slashvertisements. Submitter's ask slashdot comment sponsored by log me in and team viewer. Tune in next week for anonymous cuntward's Xp question sponsored by Microsoft.
The submitter obviously isn't clueless as he is using all the correct terms, so why wouldn't he be aware that there are at least a dozen companies that offer a solution to the problem? Who's really being insulted here?
