Would be nice if they gave you an Internet facing IPv6 address by default, but default firewall rules that blocked incoming connections, and the ability to modify those rules for your connection only.
But I guess that would only be valuable if they also gave you a static IP. And static IPs for client devices like phones aren't exactly a good thing from a privacy perspective. Ideally you'd have both a dynamic and a static IP, and new outgoing connections would originate from the dynamic one.

- mike-cardwell 14y agoI wouldn't want to run a Web server or SMTP server on Dynamic DNS. The delays introduced by DNS cache when your IP changes provide an opportunity for somebody else to intercept/replace your traffic. Although I admit that is pretty unlikely.
