You need to add your App name and port into Windows Firewall settings.

You are not allowed to run 3000 port on your system. Checkout the open ports on your system

netstat -an | find /i

See which are open and use those to run your app. I feel you wont be able have access and would need to run this command as administrator.

The error says that running on that port requires "Elevated Privileges". Try running the command as Administrator if on Windows & with "sudo" if on linux.
