I recently got a small pc for my Jellyfin Server.

Ideally, I want to reach it from everywhere, but alas, I got no static Ipv4 Address with which I am more familiar.

Can I just expose my Ipv6 Address through that damned Vodafone and use the IP Address together with the Port, or do I need an DNS with AAAA record?
And are there any pitfalls I need to take care of?

I am definitely not the most experienced Dude when it comes to these things, so I would appreciate it if you could hold my hand here a little bit :)

    I don’t know how it works with your or OP’s router, but my router has a firewall for IPv6, too. There’s no NAT for IPv6, so if I open a port I have to use the server’s IP address, and that’s also the IP address that I have to use from the outside.
