Of course it breaks protocols... that's the point! It is secure by default -- meaning it is secure until you make a change (the ISP could provide a simple web-page or similar to open up the firewall). For most applications, there is a way to have them operate behind firewalls (for corporate users) so 99% of users would be more secure and not loose functionality.
