    1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) manager.
    2. Go to <Servername> - Web Sites
    3. Find "Microsoft SharePoint Administration"
    4. Open "Properties".
    5. Click on Advanced
    6. In "Multiply identifies..." select "default..." and click "Edit"
    7. Set IP address "127.0.0.1"
    8. Click "Ok" 3 times.
    9. Restart Website

    So - you bind your Website to 127.0.0.1:9596, and it can be accessed
    only locally.

    Remember that by default IIS enable socket pooling feature, and it will
    listen on _all_ adapters on port 9596 (default for FPSE), but if
    somebody try to connect to this port from network, they will get "Bad
    Request (Invalid Hostname)" error.
    If you want prevent connections, disable socket pooling (not
    recommended) or use port filtering with ICF or IPSec.
