   If you only have one interface, the default nowdays is to configure it   
   as external. You configure it yourself as internal when you trust the   
   LAN router and firewall to internet. It is your choice to define the   
   network interface as external or internal. No, the system does not set   
   up an interface as internal just because it is connected to the internal   
   LAN. You do that, not the system. You tell the firewall what to do.
