The only difference is, that you're not "protected" by nat, so packets going back to you, can go back to you (but this is solved by a simple firewall installed by default on pretty much any ipv6 enabled CPE).
With ipv6 privacy extensions, your IP address changes every few minutes (withoin the same /64 network) so it's not a lot different (privacy wise) than today, wher that whole network would be hidden behind a single IPv4 address.

- Gigachad 3y agoEvery consumer router I have seen blocks all incoming connections on ipv6 by default in pretty much the same way nat does. The only difference being that the UI allows multiple devices to listen on the same port now.
