       | For Windows 10:
       | 
       | Install "Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter" using Device Manager
       | (Action -> Add Legacy Hardware, Install from a list, network
       | adapter)
       | 
       | From Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Settings, go to Change
       | Adapter Settings
       | 
       | Rename your Loopback network connection to something else (such
       | as LOOPBACK) so you can tell what it is.
       | 
       | Go to Properties
       | 
       | Uncheck everything except for IPV4.
       | 
       | Go to Properties for IPV4, and assign an IP address. You used to
       | be able to assign something beginning with 127 there, but windows
       | doesn't let you do that anymore. So pick something that you know
       | will be invalid. I don't think anyone is using 10.127.255.127 on
       | their private networks.
       | 
       | Hit "Advanced...", go to WINS page, disable NetBIOS for that
       | connection.
       | 
       | Now you have a custom localhost-only IP address that has no SMB
       | server bound to it!
       | 
       | You can also use this special loopback device for SSH
       | connections, forwarding all the SMB ports. It will make it looks
       | like 10.127.255.127 is a computer on your network that's sharing
       | files. Hopefully Windows Firewall isn't interfering.
