Thanks, so it doesn't have any protection whatsoever?

On the contrary, it has all the protection that any NAT router has: all unsolicited incoming connection attempts will be binned, except for the ones that you have explicitly port-forwarded.

 Thanks RDHW.

I am aware of the protection offered by NAT. I was hoping for a little bit more by asking the question - your reply to which implied the answer already.

Thanks again.
