Hello there.

You can disconnect a stream in the Manager under Applications \> ApplicationName \> Incoming Streams if it is a Mediacaster based stream (RTSP/RTP or mpegts), and then block the IP address in security settings.

If an RTMP stream, it’s a little more difficult, you can block the stream by [IP blacklist (under incoming security)](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-security-using-wowza-streaming-engine-manager#client_restrictions_incoming), but then you’ll need to disconnect the stream by stopping the application itself. Once the stream is disconnected it shouldn’t be able to reconnect with that blocked IP address.

I hope this answers your question.
