I am not sure whether I get the question right. However, I'll try with the following:
The OFBiz instance will expose all webapplications that are published to the public IP address used. However, the manager applications by default will require a password in order to access them (so you may consider those applications an "extranet" functionality). Beware that still EVERYONE can access the login pages for the manager applications. That is the reason for the recommendation to change the passwords for all admin users if you do not start blank but rather from the Demo setup. Also, if you do not protect them explicitly, the webapps like e.g. cmssite, ecommerce, ecomclone etc will be freely accessible. So rather play around on a local install (or the demo site that Sumit indicated) before you start up your instance on the public IP address and accidentially disclose all your confidential information to the world.
