Why not just bind the web server to 127.0.0.1:80 instead of 0.0.0.0:80  ??

Hello all; I have a server that I want to enable access to port 80 to
only through loopback (I want to force the user to ssh port forward
instead of hitting it through the web. I currently am dropping inbound
port 80 packets, which also disables my ability to port forward. What
do i need to do to make this work; add an allow rule for loopback or
something?
