Yes, butbut only if you can get the tunnel set up in the first place.

Out of the remaining IPv6 tunnel providers, both HE (Tunnelbroker) and NetAssist only offer raw 6in4 which does not work that well with NATs. While 6in4 can work behind residential NAT, it is going to be very unreliable behind CGNAT. , as (Unlikeunlike UDP or GRE,) it's a raw IP-IP tunnel and the ISP's NAT boxes arewould be unable to distinguish between different people's tunnels.)

If you have a few dollars a month to spare, you could rent a server from a VPS hosting company and set up a personal tunnel using a more convenient protocol (e.g. using OpenVPN or ZeroTier). That way you'll get IPv6 and a dedicated public IPv4 address, with ability to port-forward stuff.

Some commercial VPN providers (the kind which lets you connect to the internet) also offer a public IP address and allow incoming connections. (Though usually they only support IPv4 and deliberately block IPv6.)
