If it's an air-gapped local network, then sure, but how useful is that? Are you disconnecting your phone/laptop from the internet when you access the air-gapped

If it's an air-gapped local network, then sure, but how useful is that? Are you disconnecting your phone/laptop from the internet when you access the air-gapped network, or do you use two network interfaces on every device? I assumed the GP was talking about a typical home "local network", one behind a NAT - so no incoming traffic, but usually, it allows any outgoing traffic.
