Kind of what I said. Firewalls are for blocking unwanted traffic. It should not be used as a replacement for other security measures. "unexpectedly open", well, there I simply disagree.

Yes. I would assume that any service platform or services for that matter may have open ports as default and that you should place it in a private network with a proxy in front of it.
