To me, the usefulness immediately comes into play in that I can reach the
hosts on my home network remotely without going through painful header
mangling with NAT and port redirection on my network edge. I have various
firewall rules blocking inbound access as necessary, of course.

This all hinges on having remote IPv6 connectivity, naturally, but this
is slowly becoming more commonplace.

Can't say enough good things about Hurricane Electric.
