With a local server, how do you avoid Windows's scary confusing firewall prompts? I'm sure they cost users, and for a local app they don't make sense. Is there a way to make your server local-only that will prevent them?

To be absolutely sure, according to Stack Overflow you can request admin privileges (standard for Windows installers of course) and add a firewall rule yourself allowing any network communication you want.
