At this moment according to limitations described in Wiki:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Headless_Client
> The server doesn't allow arbitrary connections from headless clients if you do not define the headless clients IPs in the server.cfg, the below value defines accepted IP Addresses from Headless Clients.
> headlessClients[] = { "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", ... };

There is no way to set or bypass headlessClients[] setting for non-dedicated server. The scenario when it is useful is playing singplayer or (1-4 players) missions with huge amount of AI without setting up dedicated server on the same machine.
