Private vs Public networks when granting permission to a specific app?

Granting an app permission on a public network should be done with caution, as public networks are less secure and more susceptible to attacks. In most cases, it's advisable to limit app permissions on public networks to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.

Just allow it so that you can run the app!

If you're using a public Wi-Fi network or a network you don't trust, it's recommended to choose "Public" to prevent any potential security risks.
If you're using a private network at home or work, you can choose "Private" if the app requires direct access to local resources or needs to communicate with your device directly.
