### Description

After setting up the Nginx SSL Reverse Proxy and seeing it works correctly, I went and tested the old link. To my dismay, it still works and allows the connection to the server not over https. I know this is not controlled by nginx but how do I disable the http connection to my rocket chat server.

Example:  
Https  
`https://rocketchat.mydomain.com` Works

`http://rocketchat.mydomain.com:3000` Also works (but i dont want it to)

Nginx is setup to only listen for traffic on port 443 and require ssl.

### Server Setup Information

- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 4.2
- Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
- Deployment Method: Manual Install
- Number of Running Instances: 1
- DB Replicaset Oplog:
- NodeJS Version: 12.18.4
- MongoDB Version: 4.4.10
- Proxy: nginx
- Firewalls involved: none

### Any additional Information

I did change the Root URL to the new HTTPS address. So it should not be the root URL.

Hi, add another environment variable to the service file `BIND_IP=127.0.0.1`, this should fix the issue.
