Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The default listening action for droidVNC-NG is to listen on all interfaces (including localhost and external ip address). (this can be seen from termux with "netstat -lnt") Those that have secured their systems with a ssh tunnel, will use the localhost address, but having the interface still open on the external ip address makes one vulnerable when problems like : https://github.com/bk138/droidVNC-NG/issues/219 arise.

Describe the solution you'd like A option to only listen to locahost:5900, and not listen to the external interface

Describe alternatives you've considered In issue https://github.com/bk138/droidVNC-NG/issues/93 , it seems like he is saying that he got his to listen just to 127.0.0.1:5900 via UI, so its possible this is already implemented and I'm just not understanding the UI.

Your environment (please complete the following information):
