Re: I realized there is a self-describing acronym for use of IoT...

Your PC is still connected to the internet, however indirectly.

Also, NAT is not what is saving you there - it is your Firewall. NAT is NOT a security mechanism...

This is not really an IoT device either, it is just a crap embedded device that many people have connected to the internet/their internal network without a suitable set of firewall rules.
