well way have set right allow listen on interfaces connection. not bad since still need access remote machine on network.

can additionally block outside access ufw adding

sudo ufw allow 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.x port 80

allow traffic 192.168.0.0 network (assuming ip range network) server 192.168.0.x ip of server on port 80.you can change subnet /24 specific ip address if you'd allow 1 ip. in addition deny in ufw should covered. if you're using router make sure don't forward ports unless want accessible internet.
