Unfortunately, there is no way to specify for LinuxCNC only to bind to
localhost (127.0.0.1) for the remote services as they are apparently
hardcoded to listen on any address.

However, instead of disabling the service you could simply block outside
access with a machine internal iptables rule and use ssh forwarding to
tunnel the request.
