bit of an open ended question
is it publicly accessible? do you have a modem plugged right into it?
if so then yeah

if its just on your home network, your router and NAT is probably doing a fair bit of protection on its own

 

I was going to say 'depends if it's connected to anything else or not', but I think Pheonix made it sound a bit more technical - so I'll just say, 'what he said'.
