Not all home ISPs give you an entire IPv4 address. Some have fewer IPs than subscribers and thus use a NAT. Sometimes a very restrictive one.
In Europe, most ISPs use carrier graden NAT nowadays
You can get around the issues of CG-NAT by setting up a reverse tunnel to an external server you control.
