MODERATORS
Can they? Theoretically is possible. In all likelihood however it's not feasible.
The biggest concern you should have if you aren't port forwarding is a router exploit. If your router is past end of life then the manufacturer may not be providing any more security updates for it and that could leave it vulnerable.
TP-Link a few years ago refused to patch some older routers that had an exploit because they were 10 years old. So, it happens.
Google your router name/model number and exploits to see if anything exists for it. If not then you're fine.
