Yes we should provide those choices which is what I am saying making this
choice should not (and does not) require the knowledge about networking nor
how to configure the firewall.

The tool that configures the sharing should do that for the user.  The
user should not have to
mess around with firewalls, network ports and interfaces himself.

pointed you at?
