Hopefully you’re only forwarding the minimal set of network ports and not all ports/traffic? If so then you’re good, like someone else said if you’ve got a router and it’s forwarding selected traffic then no need for anything else
Nah, probably not.
All routers you can buy today will route and by default have their firewall active.
Make sure, auto-updates are activated on your router.
Check your server OS'ses and the Software running on them for updates on a regular basis - since they are partially made available to the public and are potential attack vectors.
Though if you only port-forwarded a couple ports that dont include the RDP port or something wildly stupid, you should be safe.
Follow some best practises as:
try to dont run your Gameserver Software as administrator but instead with a account with as low privileges as possible.
update your OS'ses, Softwares and Router/FW Appliance.
Don't let yourself fool by the guys telling ya to setup a full fledged firewall system when you obviously don't even know basic networking. You would be overwhelmed by the configurationpossibilities.
If you want to dangle your foot in some cold water - try em out and put some machines behind them to learn what behaves how. But dont make em your only protection against the public internet when you don't know basic networking stuff.
Unless you're just opening up all the ports on your router, it should be blocking all incoming connections by default. I'd recommend doing 1:1 port mapping for the specific internal ips of your services if your router provides that capability, but at minimum just locking it down to only opening the ports required for your services should suffice.
Rabies are eradicated there as far as you know. And you certainly don't know if it has any other communicable diseases unless you are some sort of expert on hedgehogs.
It doesn't usually much more than, "I'm not going to talk about that."
After repeating that a few times, when people ask or talk about something too personal, they'll give up.
Its dated and probably misogynistic given the period, but when I did read it many many years ago, the broken record technique is probably the one thing I do remember. It also had some role play dialog for how others may try and break the loop. I found it helpful at the time.
I think I read/heard something similar in one of the Love and Logic parenting books/ebooks. "Maybe so, but <repeat assertion>" comes to mind. Acknowledge the statement that attempts to break the loop, don't add any new information, and repeat the assertion.
