I want to run Rancher Desktop on another Windows machine and access it in the same LAN from my Mac. However the 6443 port binds to localhost only, so I can’t - is there a workaround?

The old windows port-proxy trick works, but I’d like to avoid that (`netsh interface portproxy add v4tov6 listenaddress=192.168.178.84 listenport=6443 connectaddress=[::1] connectport=6443`).
