I don't know of a direct way in Rev to disallow outside connections, 
but you could probably do it at script level:

accept connections on port xxx with message "newconnect"

...

on newconnect s
     if peerAddress(s) is not "127.0.0.1" then close socket s
     else
        ...
     end if
end newconnect
