How to check if my device is exposed to the internet
Because of the recent incident, I really want to make sure my device is not connected to the Internet. I've made all the recommended changes to the settings, but I was wondering if there was a way to check if my device was exposed to the internet. Your advice will be apprecated.

An easy to use inbound checker is ShieldsUp!

Use the All service ports, then Common ports, then Custom ports to include the 8080 admin port if it's still on that default setting.

TS-431+ for storage and media and a bunch of IP cams under Surveillance Station. TVS-473 as files backup and QVR Pro.

best advice..turn upnp and manual port forwards off in your router...that will take care of it

Here's a list of various sites that can be used to test your router and see if UPnP is enabled or not.
