   You have a smart phone, don’t you? You know that IP telephones are servers, even your smart phone are So yes, many do host servers, in every IP telephone, which modern smart phones areAnd just because your device have a public address, doesn’t mean that the rest of Internet have access to it It could, if you allow in your home router But that is basically the same security as before If some one hack your router, you are screwed, with or without IPv6And as you should get 256 public IPv6 LAN from your ISP, you can put all IoT stuff that is controlled from external servers and which they phone home about, maybe even have some back door You put them in their own LAN, which you look down as neededThen you have 255 other public IPv6 LAN networks to use you can use for other stuff, like IoT stuff you have the code for and can trust, put in another LAN And you secure that in the firewall of the router And then one LAN for your file servers, for your games and media, for your own personal computers, your spouse and children and guests LAN And then you set up the firewall in your home routers as you likeBetter security then what you have with one LAN and perhaps if you are lucky, one public addressYes, smarter people then you and I have thought this through
