It's always going to be behind NAT, so unless it implements UPnP or polls the server or does some other kind of NAT traversal, it's never going to receive any packets. You'd jave to DMZ, manually port forward, or VPN/proxy for packets from outside of the LAN to hit it.

But even then, it's not really sensible to take that for granted: Sure, most consumers will only have NAT at home, but why should only consumers buy this device? Also, NAT does not prevent unsolicited packets from outside the LAN, just from across the global internet.
