Hello, I want to disable the dev server (next dev) from being accesed from the internet, I know... I can disable the port forwading, but I don't want to do this. React support an environment variable (HOST) which can be seted to 127.0.0.1 and the dev server only be accesed via localhost. It's also possible in nextjs?

i am wondering how are you accessing it tbh

basically when you deploy it, there is no localhost. while developing it, where people know it to access

If you have your network set up that external people can access your local host... You should fix that as I dont see how nextjs could...

i mean you could try by using --hostname but idk if it would do your desired outcome
