How can I make that happen?

Here's a draft for the last bullet points (English is not my native
language):

* Make sure you don't grant access to special URLs based on source IP
address, since all connection will come from localhost or wherever you
install tor on your LAN. For example, on apache, you should disable
mod_status and all modules/sites/conf with "Require local" directive.

In example torrc, we could add:

## Be aware source IP filtering will not be available:
## see https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service.html

before

#HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
#HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
