Hi, you're planning to connect your PC to a USB tethered 4G mobile internet for streaming and other activities. Decide whether to set the location to home or public—consider what environment suits your needs best. For security, be mindful of potential risks like data interception; use strong passwords, enable encryption if available, and keep your device updated.

Public should be fine and as long as you have your firewall on you should be fine

Public environment enhances the security of Windows Firewall. If you have worries about a device with 4G LTE capability—like the Synology RT2600AC which allows USB tethering via 4G LTE—there are likely other routers supporting this feature as well.

Choosing home mode would generally offer more security compared to public mode.
