Well from a user propective, I agree that this question is not really
easy to solve. And koha-devel seems to be often more reactive on
technical questions, so that users my be tempted to use that.
And in that case, it is a matter of zebra configuration, so that it
requires access to the zebra server configuration files.
But I agree it is a sane recommandation you made.
But it didnot give any hint.

If you want your zebra server not to be accessible with anonymous access;
you can comment the perm.anonymous line in zebra-*.cfg line

For testing purpose, you may want to copy for instance zebra-biblios.cfg
and do the edit.
Consider using :
zebrasrv  -c /home/koha/sites/am123/etc/zebradb/zebra-bibliosedited.cfg
@:10002
to test
where 10002 will be the port you want to connect to.
Then try to connect with yaz-client
man zebrasrv for more information

it should not allow you to connect without authentication.
Hope that helps.
