Why does postman ask to "allow public and private networks to access this app"

Postman is a tool to call external external APIs to see what the response is.

Every time it starts on windows 11, it asks to “allow public and private networks to access this app”

Why would an app which only makes outgoing calls (to test apis) want to allow things to connect to it?

As our network policy blocks this, will postman still work without this being allowed?

I’ve been noticing this lately too. Glad it wasnt just me. Happened after I updated to latest version of MacOS
