In the "General Configuration" of Pi-Star that has "Node Type: "Private" or "Public." If set to Private, only the DMR ID listed in this same section can use your hotspot. If set to Public, anyone can get in. As an example, I have 2 DMR ID's. Stuck one in my GD-77 and the other in the RD-5R....only the GD-77 could get in to the hotspot until I made it public. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away and "Charlie don't ham."

Seems correct to me to generally use “private” as in most cases users will only have one call or ID.
Equally, I don’t think there should be an issue with using “public” as the dongle can be used on a stubby antenna to limit the range to just your premises, which is probably more in keeping with your licence terms too.
The private/public setting isn’t unique to Pi-Star, it is used in other software builds.
