From 8b4536556086e82f8edb2cea3ee391c9c3f25f6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabe Black Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 16:53:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] misc: Add the --listener-loopback-only command line option. This option invokes the Listener::loopbackOnly() static function which will make the port listeners bind to the loopback device exclusively and ignore connections on other devices. That prevents external agents like port scanners from disrupting simulations with spurious connections.
