10. Why does my network connection show ‘Public’ in Windows?

A: Public means you are in a public area, so it turns off sharing and discovery, not that the network is ‘open to the public’.  Private means you are in a private network so sharing and discovery is enabled, which you do not want on a VPN or internet connection.
