This option is missing in the current version. It'll be implemented soon.
If you're behind a firewall, you can do a quick hack to disable the access to the console from the outside: just tell your firewall to deny the access to the console port.

If your ISP blocks the connections on port 80, you could try that. Or just put it on another port that you ISP blocks. Or if you have a router, change the console port to a number that the router doesn't redirect to your computer.
