Trying to set up a web server, but my IP address looks very strange

I want to use a raspberry pi as a web server. For this I need my public IP address. When I ask google what is my ip, I get:

3b01:302:kr18:9847:b40c:mn93:4567:3d91

NOTE: only the shape of my actual IP address is above, I have changed every digit and letter, so there is no need to worry about that. Does anyone know what this is? I also cannot access my pi (even though I did port forwarding on my router).

Also here is the ipv6tables readout:

pi@pi-desktop:~$ sudo ip6tables -L -v -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 

EDIT: If I use whatismyip.com I can also see that the ip information section shows the server of my ISP, in a city far away from where I live.

I also looked here: and it seems that all my ports are closed and there is no option in the router's menu to open them. This site also gives me a normal ipv4 address.

Looks like an IPv6 IP address. Ubuntu supports IPv6 by default so that should be no problem.
