It depends on the WAN technology.

You can have private IP address in MPLS typical /30 network.

You can have public IP address in Direct internet. You can buy /29 public IP address for your network

There are two types of IP addresses IPv4 and IPv6. It depends on you what will use (It all depends on your knowledge).

Noramlly people preffer IPv4.

If you are asking what subnet mask is suitable for a WAN topology using IPv4, then it depends on the design of your WAN.

>> Point to mutipoint topology = subnet mask will depend on the number of connections in the topology

>> point-to-point = 255.255.255.252 (30 bit mask is suitable)..

It's not about IP class, Any class is fine but I prefer class A or C. For subnet mask, a /24 is preferred. Lastly, private IP could be best and NAT for internet access.

With the use of public Wi-Fi, anyone can access your mobile via hacker software

 

Therefore it is recommended not to enter such networks unless known source

For a WAN connection always use /30 subnet mask. The class of IP either A, B or C does not really matter.
