No easy way around what you want to do. You need to make sure your OS + web server are properly configured. That varies from OS to OS and web server to web server. Even same OS and web servers versions differ in configuration. It’s better to take your time and have a solid and stable OS + Web server configuration so you can test in a reliable environment.
Even better connect up the network and dont even go online when your running the server. I used to use a LAMP stack on windows, linux, raspberry, or whatever, even the phone, and there is usually at least one port open that i didnt request and the system occasionaly requests time synchronisation …
That would be great unless theres a really mean trojan that cracks into the neighbours wifi and makes the computer appear offline …
Google can probably help if you write 192.168.0.4 or something for your localhost address, thats the sort of address most people use.
