WCF: How to disable remote connections

[Markus Strobl]

Hi!

I'm developing a self-hosted WCF service running on client machines for
interprocess-data exchange using netTcpBinding.

For security reasons i'd like to configure the service in a way it only
accepts local connections.

Does anybody know how this can be done?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hint!

Greetings

Markus,

Make the service listen on 127.0.0.1 (http://localhost). That should make it
visible to local machine only.

Hi Tiago,

thanks for your reply but actually this is what i'm doing right now but the
service accepts remote connections from everywhere.

My endpoint address is net.tcp://localhost:9010/ServiceName.

I would be looking for something like binding the service to the local
loopback adapter to make it invisible for connections from outside the local
machine (or something else to achive the expected behavior).

Best Wishes

Markus
