Windows gives you the choice when you connect to the Wifi - a kind of "is this network trusted?" dialogue.

Honestly the thing that makes sense is smarter applications. If you only need local connectivity, only listen on the loopback interface. If you open a port then you should expect to receive public requests on this port, and should have appropriate authentication in place.
