Alright, in theory my Mystic BinkP server should be available via IPv6 on
port 24554 or 24553 for SSL:

Server:  dns.google
Address:  2001:4860:4860::8888

Addresses:  2607:fea8:ab00:e4f:9c8:a528:aa91:34cb
            173.33.12.16

I changed some settings in Windows, so that IPv6 address _shouldn't_ change,
though sometimes my ISP changes the first half.
