Alternatively, ensure the server only binds to loopback interfaces by setting `listen_addresses = 'localhost'` in the PostgreSQL configuration and reloading the service:\n```\nsystemctl reload postgresql\n```\nCaveats:\nRestricting network access only limits the attack surface from external untrusted networks. It does not prevent exploitation by authenticated database users connecting from permitted IP addresses or via local connections.\nWarning:\nReloading firewall rules or the PostgreSQL service modifies active connection filtering and client sessions.
