Hello there. Is it dangerous to set nat filtering to open? I have it set to open so I could get open nat on my PS4. I have a netgear router hooked up to a technicolor modem which is in bridge mode. I’m not really tech savvy either...
 
Yes, you should research the ports that need to be forwarded and use port forwarding.
Make the private ip of the PS4 fixed lease using it's MAC address.

The recent VPNfilter malware is related to unprotected access. You don't want any inbound connections happening that aren't intended. Any programs listening on a port that is forwarded should be secure.
