+// This helper is intended to be long-lived, and run with administrator privileges.
+// It will launch a http server and expose a REST API to control OpenVPN and the firewall.
+// At the moment, it is only used in Darwin and Windows - although it could also be used in GNU/Linux systems (but we use the one-shot bitmask-root wrapper in GNU/Linux instead).
+// In Windows, this helper will run on the first available port after the standard one (7171).
+// In other systems, the 7171 port is hardcoded.
