Should I get a firewall appliance? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have a host name whose dns points to my home IP. I use this for game servers for my buddies. Should I be worried about my home IP being easily accessible like this, and should I get a physical firewall appliance to protect myself?

Servers are running Windows Server 2019 and Mac OSX.

Yes, don’t expose Windows to the internet

It sounds like they're just exposing a game server, not windows.
