I have a host name whose dns points to my home IP. I use this for game servers for my buddies. Should I be worried about my home IP being easily accessible like this, and should I get a physical firewall appliance to protect myself?

Servers are running Windows Server 2019 and Mac OSX.

    If you have a router, you already own one.

    Pointing a hostname to your ip doesn’t do anything meaningful.
