How to prevent access to the local web server from the network in Mac OS?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Mac OS 10.6.6. In "System Preferences" I check the box "Shared Web Access" - Apache automatically starts and an allow rule appears in the firewall. Thus, in the local network or even from the Internet, you can dial my IP and see the site I'm working on.
I uncheck the box, enter “apachectl start” in the terminal, then “Web Sharing” turns on by itself and a rule appears at the firewall.
I'm a developer, I don't need my site to be visible to everyone. Maybe someone knows a simple solution?

You can edit the configuration file
private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

<IfDefine !MACOSXSERVER>
Listen 80
</IfDefine
<IfDefine !MACOSXSERVER>
