Probably abstruct class would be better fit than the interface for your situation. If you could explain your scenario, will get better answer or guidance.

Solution 1

Interface members are public by default.

How to Implement an Interface Without Making Members Public Using Explicit Interface Implementation[^] is a workaround that uses explicit interface implementation.

Solution 2

Interfaces are just that - interfaces. A public contract, nothing else. Think of interface as of specification which describes how should the implementation look to the outside world.If you want to make protected go for abstract base classes
Hope this helps
