Port Forwarding Safety

Grim Dawn General Discussion

Hi all,

I just have a security question regarding multiplayer.

Following the advice from this post : http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17813
I opened a port on my router to be able to play GD online. It works but I am wondering whether I should close the port when I am not playing or if the risk is minor.

thank you for any advice.

The risk is minor, but it obviously exists.
