[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 917580, member: 11847"] If you have a robust hardware firewall appliance (like the one based on pfsense, opnsense, routeros, edge os or openwrt) that has rules enabled to prevent accessing of external systems to your local network, then you can enable private profile without much hesitation. If you don't have decent router with good firewall then it may pose some security issues and using of public profile in those scenarios will offer a tighter system firewall which could prevent access to local files by an external intruder.
