Unexpected firewall warnings

[torman119]

When we start the final electron app we get 2 firewall warnings popping up (running on windows 10).
For instance when building and running the Electron.Net sample music player, we get a firewall warning for "ElectronNET.Host" and one for "myelectronmusicplayer.exe".
Does anybody know why we get these warnings? Why do we get 2 of them? How can we avoid them for our users?

I have solved the firewall prompt when it comes to the api. This was done by just resetting the bind:

WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseElectron(args)
                .UseUrls($"http://localhost:{BridgeSettings.WebPort}")
                .UseStartup<Startup>();

but the issue lies here:

Electron.NET/ElectronNET.API/WebHostBuilderExtensions.cs

Line 34 in 5a676cb

.UseUrls("http://0.0.0.0:" + BridgeSettings.WebPort);

The api is being bound to 0.0.0.0. Which is not good as this remotely exposes the API as is broadcast on all addresses.

Not sure how to resolve the other prompt that is for the electron exe apposed to the api. Something must be getting bound to another non local address

Mh - would " .UseUrls("http://localhost:" + BridgeSettings.WebPort);" trigger the same Firewall Warning? @RogerDodger123 ?

This should be fixed in the next update.
