I'm fortunate enough to have pretty fast Internet at home, but it comes with a downside: DS-Lite. This means I don't have my own public IPv4 address, only IPv6. It's a non-issue for outgoing connections (at least in my case, I have heard of reliability issues), but incoming connections are required to use IPv6.

In theory, this shouldn't be a problem either. Practically, IPv6 is still broken in many places, often making it impossible to access the things I'm hosting at home. The solution: Setting up a proxy.
