WA is very old, so it might have some vulnerable computer exploitation?
I am afraid of getting hacked from strangers using some backdoor / bug from the game.

although port forwarding is the default way to do this, WormNAT2 (a WormKit module) is recommended nowadays, there's also a hosting bot called HostingBuddy, but it's clunky in controls

Yes, we fixed a few of these. That's also how Silkworm worked, it exploited buffer overflows. We also added some security strengthening like ASLR I think.
However, the connection method (TCP/IP) isn't important. Normal hosting is also a direct connection.
Using WormNAT2 or HostingBuddy gives you a bit more safety because they decode the packets, so a malformed packet will cause the connection to be dropped. They only decode frontend packets though. They also act as a proxy, so your IP is not exposed.

It's never safe to connect with the stranger, you need to have Rubber (wormkit) 8)

Safe is have Worms-PC for worms, and other PC for work. :P
(and on that work-PC must be disabled ports on which it usually hear)
