Whichever way you go, don't forget to include it in your rc files so it gets blocked on boot.

 

 

The easiest way is to just explicitly bind in ssl.conf to your management address; that'll ensure that the HTTP server doesn't bind to any other IP addresses. Otherwise you'll need to create a new startup script with the iptables rules you've created.
