My expectation is that, when the new Xampp security concept is activated (restricting access to the http server and other services to devices on the local network), that it allow devices on the local network access, while blocking WAN devices.
Actually, when the feature is activated, it prevents any device, local or otherwise, from accessing the xampp server.
This may appear to be a duplicate of similar posts, but there is an important distinction:
The solution that was given in similar posts was to turn off the security feature. However, I want that security feature active. I want access to be restricted to the local network. How do I fix the security feature (so that it allows access to local network devices, but not external devices) without turning it off?
