Hello,

At my home office, I have 1 public IP and I'm forwarding certain outside 
port requests to the various machines inside using NAT. I'm allowing all 
inside->out traffic. Given that I'm happy with this setup from the 
functionality perspective, should I still add firewall rules to define 
my current setup (e.g. to allow all inside->out traffic and to allow 
http, smtp, etc to the various machines for outside->in traffic)? Am I 
missing out on important security features the firewall would offer 
which NAT doesn't?

Currently I just have the following firewall statements:

firewall {
    log-martians: "enable"
    send-redirects: "disable"
    receive-redirects: "disable"
    ip-src-route: "disable"
    broadcast-ping: "disable"
    syn-cookies: "enable"
}
