You should tell that to my ISP, they’ve managed to deploy a CGNAT that’s proven to be completely STUN proof. The only way I can achieve any kind of P2P comms is using IPv6. IPv4 is useless for anything except strictly outbound connections.

Not in my case. As above, I simply can bust my ISPs CGNAT, so IPv6 is invaluable to me. Makes a huge difference to me, the end-user.
