There is this [ModuleOverridePlayRestrictIP](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-limit-playback-by-ip-address-moduleoverrideplayrestrictip%28ModuleOverridePlayRestrictIP%29) which you can use to restrict by IP. You would have to extend this module to limit to 1 player per IP.

You will most likely want to get a Wowza developer, and have them create a custom module for you.

So when someone connects, their IP goes into a DB. And upon disconnect, gets removed.

I don’t see any other reasonable way to do what you want done.

If you do end up getting it done, consider releasing it as I’m sure some others would find it useful.
