Windows Firewall: what does it mean 'private profile '?

I guess that 'Private profile' refers to an IP address that does not perform routing to the Internet, but then, why is not called 'local' or 'LAN '? And why is it called a "profile"? I'm not trying to be semantically *-retentive or being here. In fact, I'm confused by the terminology.

'Private profile' kindly explain in terms I can understand as: addressing IP or WAN c. privilege user, VPN, LAN, etc. (in particular, belongs to a 'private' VPN?)

Thank you.

PS: just so you know, I'm a geek:

  • Private? = ? IP4_localhost | IP4_A-LAN | IP4_B-LAN | IP4_C-LAN
  • Public? = ? IP4_A-WAN | IP4_B-WAN | IP4_C-WAN

where:

  • IP4_localhost = 127.X.X.X/8
  • IP4_A-LAN = 10.X.X.X/8
  • IP4_B-LAN = 172. [16-31]. X.X/12
  • IP4_C-LAN = 192.168.X.X/16
  • IP4_A-WAN = [1-9]. X.X.X/8 | [11-99]. X.X.X/8 | 100 (0-63). X.X/8 | 100. [128-255]. X.X/8 | [101-126]. X.X.X/8
  • IP4_B-WAN IS [128-168]. X.X.X/12 | 169. [0-253]. X.X/12 | 169.255.X.X/12 | [170-171]. X.X.X/12 | 172. [0-15]. X.X/12 | 172 [32-255]. X.X/12 | [173-191]. X.X.X/12
  • IP4_C-WAN = 192.0.1.0/16 | 192,0. [3-255]. X / 16 | 192. [1-87]. X.X/16 | 192,88. [0-98]. X / 16 | 192,88. [100-255]. X / 16 | 192. [89-167]. X.X/16 | 192 [169-255]. X.X/16 | [193-197]. X.X.X/16 | 198. [0-17]. X.X/16 | 198. [20-50]. X.X/16 | 198,51. [0-99]. X / 16 | 198,51. [101-255]. X / 16 | [199-202]. X.X.X/16 | 203,0. [0-112]. X / 16 | 203,0. [114-255]. X / 16 | [204-223]. X.X.X/16
