@Xox_ellz_xox you are confusing yourself.
Setting up a Port Forwarding Rule means external sites using the named port can access a device behind your firewall.if the device is running an app that is listening for that signal then it will respond.. Normally the hub's firewall blocks all contact requests not intiated from within the network. The external service has to know the IP address of your router and the port to use. The rule tells the hub which device should get these contacts.
Which is why when you either turn on UPnP or use Port Forwarding Sky automatically gives you a unique IP address rather than sharing it with up to 7 other customers. There are a few services like corporate VPNs that do not like MAP-T even on 1:1 but you have not said you are using one of those.
All Sky hubs are heavily locked down as the vast msjority of users can use the defaults set up. While you can set up port forwarding rules it is pretty flaky so where users need additional services many decide to use a third party router whose settings are open to being configured
