Note that AMD' claim that it's only local loopback (127.0.0.1) has been refuted by numerous comments, and without further reply from AMD.
Given AMD's refusal to work with libreboot, or document the on-die Arm cores with DMA memory access, these processors should not be considered secure for any layer 3 networking, financial or security related tasks.

One could try to use Visual Studio to "add service reference" and it should discover its methods and let you call them in code.
