Hi, I'd like to configure my Ignition Edge gateway to only ever be actively bound to localhost - think a "local terminal"-type situation. However I can't seem to find any settings to do this within the settings. Is there something I'm missing to tell Ignition to only connect to localhost?

I don't think there's a setting for that for the Ignition web service itself. Careful use of a firewall can yield the effect you are after.
