That's a really bad idea. Why would you want to put your windows computer at
such risk?
Do you mean that it can reach anything or be reached?
If you have a problem reaching out then you either have a misunderstood, or a
misconfigured router.
A router does not have a 32 port limit, that's specific to that router. For
security reasons I only use OpenBSD as my border gateway (router). There's no
port limit nor would there be one on Linux. (Except for using up all
available memory if there's some very very small amount installed, which is
easily avoided by having enough.)
