Public or private network

Open crankin12864 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

This may seem like a dumb question, but me being new to the blockchain technology - I am just trying to figure it all out.

When installing a guardian node, Windows Defender asks if I want to allow Theta to communicate on a private or public network or both.

What should I run my guardian node on? My guest network (public) or my Private network. Which one is most likely to keep all of the info on my private network secure?

Thanks

@crankin12864 It has little to do with your crypto and more to do with device discoverability and file sharing.
