What is the best way to limit a socket connect to the local machine

Is this correct & best way to do this?

mySocket = s.Accept();
if(mySocket.LocalEndPoint != mySocket.RemoteEndPoint)
mySocket.Close();

Hello, Bob!

if you want to only accept local connections, then you can bind socket to
local endpoint ( loopback ).

socket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IpAddress.Loopback, somePort));
