I'm currently developing an app and I want to incorporate an online component. My idea is to use the host's computer as a temporary local server that can allow around 6 to 10 users to connect via an IP address. I need this connection to be secure, but I'm unsure how to go about setting it up. I'm coding the app in Python, but I may consider rewriting it in C# later on. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated!

You could try using Flask to create a simple Python server. It's pretty straightforward to set up on the user's machine and can manage requests. For a secure connection, look into implementing SSL with Flask. Just keep in mind that you might need to set up port forwarding for others to connect externally.
Thanks for the tip! Is Flask part of my Python code, or do I have to run it as a separate program?
