I'm really looking forward to an IPv6 future with no NAT. My hope is it will empower people to easily host websites from home, make peer-to-peer connections, and generally own their stack.

Example: you want to access a home camera (or other IOT device) from your phone. Right now I don't see how to build this as FOSS without any third party or privacy concerns. With static IPv6 addresses it should be pretty easy.

Even with IPv6, almost all consumer routers are configured to deny all inbound connections by default, which is a huge damper for getting the average Joe to adopt peer-to-peer software.
