No issues? So, how are people supposed to be able to access your machine then?

Via the mentioned public IPv6 address

If all ISPs supported IPv6 this wouldn't even be news (well, it wouldn't even have happened).

Btw, what happened to teredo? Is there a working macos client?

With ZeroTier, TailScale etc. just creating a personal network of your own should help solve the issue I guess.

Ngrok if you only want TCP

I usually used Teamviewer.

Why should I want people to be accessing my personal desktop/laptop/tablet?

It's cause you want to get to your home boxen from outside.

Surely you know this is a super niche requirement?

You can use IP6 or a commercial rather than domestic ISP if you really need to do it.

It might not be so niche if we weren't all behind NAT firewalls. There would probably be a whole lot more applications that do direct connections between two people, and eliminate the middle-man. There's a reason every major service out there has their applications set up in some cloud to relay the messages back and forth between clients.

There are other solutions to this problem now. Tailscale comes to mind.

That was not the question, it said "people".

Most domestic users don’t want or need this. If you’ve got a special requirement use a commercial ISP.
