Be careful: This setting affects HTTP on port 8080, but not HTTPS on port 8443!

One should bind OpenHAB to 127.0.0.1 **and** disable HTTPS support in OpenHAB when using a reverse proxy.

If HTTPS is needed, it should be activated in the reverse proxy configuration.

```auto
org.osgi.service.http.secure.enabled = false
org.ops4j.pax.web.listening.addresses = 127.0.0.1

```
