"Personal" vs. "Public" probably doesn't even have a well-defined
meaning in this case. You have (or had) a program listening for
connections from the outside world, so that would constitute a server.

If one were sneaky, one might log attempts and find out where Cox's
probes come from and block them, so that one would appear not to be
running one's own server. But that it sneaky, and one would be violating
the ToS that one agreed to.
