I have no services running, as far as I know. I did not install any.
Then there is not need for a router, NAT or anything else.
I would disagree. Operating systems have flaws that hackers can
exploit. If a computer is connected directly to the internet then
hackers can exploit those flaws, regardless of what you may or may not
having running on the machine. Defense in depth is a security best
practice. If you want decent security, then a router that provides a
private intranet with NAT and firewall software on the workstation are
only prudent.
