> On a personal side, what I host is only working on ipv6, as my ISP has stable ipv6 but not ipv4, and for the convenience of configuration.

For me it's the other way around - I disable IPv6 on all my servers and only host anything on IPv4. I know it's frowned upon in networking circles, but IPv4 "just works" for me, and I want to reduce attack scope and maintenance burden (I had some problems with IPv6 messing things up, or my ipv6 firewall misconfigurations).

Exacly that! I do the same. Accessing of internal resources hosted on LAN? No problem, just make overlay VPN network.

Need to host something via HTTP? mod_proxy to the rescue.

IPv6 is junk protocol, overengineered. I hope IPv6 will be used for all those internet consumers and IPv4 will stay where its place to be, interesting R&D projects :)
