Hi,
Most secure way is to provide no internet connection at all. But if still need outbound internet (web browsing etc.), then look into setting up a router that does not allow any inbound traffic to your network. Suggest researching this topic via google.
Here’s a page on the wiki that may be helpful that discusses OpenEMR Security(for example, could harden security even more on your local network by using only https and using client side apache certificates):

Apache itself can also be configured to allow only one IP address, and deny all others, starting right at the web root directory. Something like this, with http.conf:
<Directory /var/www/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from 192.168.1.36
Allow from 127
</Directory>
That would be very reiable. In my example, you set up your computer to use a fixed address for itself (192.168.1.36). Set the Internet Gateway Router to be it’s DNS. the additional address “127” is for the OpenEMR to talk with itself (e.g., the database.)
