I agree, and normally don't. iptables is back up again.

The only thing I had listening on the WAN interface then was sshd and dhcpd. sshd
is configured for public key authentication only. I suppose if there was a dhcpd 0day,
the machine could have been compromised. But, it's a fully patched Debian Wheezy 
machine. If it were protecting something important I'd probably rebuild it, now
that I've learned how to configure Debian as a router.
