Web server with IPv6?

Hey, I'm here to ask a question from all you networking genies. I have just finished a small test web page and I have it running on a Raspberry Pi. I tried to open my routers port 80 to make it visible, but it turns out my ISP only allows ports 1024-65536 and even those don't seem to work for me. But also I figured out that with IPv6 there are no such limitations on port 80 from my ISP. So I figured I'll make my page IPv6-only, since most of my traffic will be from techies anyways. (If I get any :D) I got the Apache2 server working with IPv6 and now I can access the page from within my own local network using the IPv6 address. 

Now, how do I make my global IPv6 to show my web page? Any ideas are appreciated :)

Nope, not working. I think it was fair to assume that I had already tried that? (Oh and my IPv6 is [2001:14bb:140:8a:d06:d542:6e67:a82e] if anyone wants to try on their machine)

Most browsers still barf when you type an IPv6 address into the address bar.

 

Just signup to DynDNS and setup a AAAA record using the global IPv6 address of the server.
