As long as you are not trying to provide PUBLIC ACCESS to your
computer/network, a cheap NAT router is a good first line of defense.

As long as you monitor the logs showing in/out bound traffic, you should
be able to spot any problems if they happen.

As long as you follow normal security standards for securing your
system, your browser, your email, and any other internet type programs,
you should be fine.
