Hi everyone,

Has anyone worked out a module for disconnecting a client session by IP?

Thank you.

Hi,

The module [ModuleTimedDisconnect](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-disconnect-connected-clients-after-a-specified-time-period-moduletimeddisconnect) is an example of disconnecting clients. It’s meant to disconnect clients after a specified period of time, but uses IPs to find the clients to disconnect.

Hi,

Right you would need to roll it into a [http provider.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-an-http-provider)

Thanks for the response, Daren.

If I add this module, how would I be able to call to disconnect a specific IP? Would this be done via HTTP? Would there be an interface option?

I’m clear on the time option but I would leave that not set in properties, just not how I would select a given IP/client connection to disconnect.

Thank you.
