IF you have more than one system AND you are behind a router with NAT
then ipconfig /all will show your ip-address in the 192.168.*.*, 10.*.*.*, or 172.16.*.* range [r].

Under these conditions, there are two firewall rules to speed-up the firewall processing
and assist in allowing your LAN systems easy access to one another.

1) allow tcp/udp in/out from/to 127.0.0.1
these references are already confined to the local system and no need to be concerned​
2) allow tcp/udp in/out from/to [r] (from the above)
all these are on your local LAN and under your control already​

move both of these to the TOP of the rule list.
 
#2 means that once one of your systems is compromised or when a guest/intruder system connects to your LAN, this computer is doomed too..

as is true for all Commercial infrastructures. There's no simple,
one rule fits all. This is also why security must be layered with multiple approaches.
