How to check if the Windows 10 device is connected to a public or private WiFi?

Question

I need to detect if my Windows 10 application is running on a public or private WIFI network. I need to warn the user that he/she is connected to a public network and the connection is susceptible to snooping etc.

On a Windows 10 machine, you can see the WiFi connection type by Settings -> Network and Internet -> Change connection properties. enter image description here

Please specify what language the application is written in. If it is in C# you could probably use the NetworkInformationPermissionAttribute Class.
