How do I restrict WebSphere to just localhost requests?

I'm running WebSphere 8.5.5.15 and I want to restrict it to not serve requests coming from any outside user in my development environment. I only want to serve requests from localhost. I've been looking for a solution but I've only found resources to turn on security/ssl/https.

Solution 1:

You can use the TCP transport channel configuration Address include list or Host name include list to accomplish this. These properties are used to control the addresses or hosts that are allowed to make inbound connections.
