Windows has very sophisticated firewalling and network access can be filtered on a per-process, per-network basis.
Restrictive companies will only allow pre-approved applications, for specific ports, like I.E. doing HTTP/S over ports 80 and 443, and only on approved/trusted networks.
Yeah, realized the folly in my logic -- see my edit on my top-level comment. This strategy is pretty much how LS works on macOS as well.
and DNSCache at 53, same DNSCache that listens on localhost and will relay any request from anybody, _non filterable_ localhost
