+# bind
+
+bind overrides the host to which the server should bind. Normally, the listener binds to the
+wildcard host. However, you may force the listener to bind to another IP instead. This
+directive accepts only an address, not a port.
+
+## Syntax
+
+~~~ txt
+bind address
+~~~
+
+address is the IP address to bind to.
+
+## Examples
+
+To make your socket accessible only to that machine, bind to IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
+
+~~~ txt
+bind 127.0.0.1
+~~~
