Routers are good at NAT but for firewalls, it's different, especially with
port forwarding because it then becomes the responsibility of the client
that receives those forwarded ports to protect itself since the firewall
doesn't do stateful inspection (or any inspection) on the forwarded traffic
so I'd still look at the firewall in ArcaOS.
