or using IPv6 to access the server from outside the network.

This would be great, and there’s an existing feature suggestion which covers it. There’s a workaround for using IPv6 with a custom server access URL in that thread:

Ipv6 support for myplex

Custom domain and certificate not strictly necessary. You can use the dynamic DNS and certificate already provided by Plex. Plex generates a custom URL for your server in the plex.direct domain.
