I have been a bit annoyed because my ISP is using a CGN (Carrier Grade Nat) and my router is getting a 100.64.x.x ip address which does not have public internet access.
I emailed customer support, and they told me that they issue IPv6 public IP addresses. So I logged into my router, went into the ipv6 section and enabled this to "native". I couldn't tell if this was for LAN or for the WAN. After enabling it, it does appear that my WAN is getting an IPv6 address now (Although it is still showing the IPv4 NAT address in the router). I simply ran "ip addr" in the router, found the 100.64 nat, and now I see a "Gloabl Dynamic" ipv6 address.
This should be what I am after, but I am having trouble getting that IP address to load anything. For example, I have an internal FreeBSD server that is hosting Owncloud on an IPv4 address and forwarding port 443 in my router. Should I need to do anything special so that when I load https://[IPv6_Address] this works? Not sure if I am missing something or not. I am quite new to IPv6 and I apologize if I am being an idiot, but I would very much like to get my public IP address! Thanks again!
