IPTables Redis
I needed to limit access to Redis running on port 6379 to localhost on a Linux server. Here is the code to run that. It basically disallows anyone one who is not 127.0.0.1 from access to the server.
```
 
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 ! -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --destination-port 6379 -j DROP 
```
This could be generalized to other services i.e MySQL, PostgresSQL, etc. but here it is.

I'm not sure about Redis, but you can also do this with TCP wrappers (hosts.allow/deny) for most daemons. I generally configure both just in case I have to take my firewall down or if I screwed up and accidentally allowed access.
