Hi friends,

I want to know if there is any way to prevent unauthorized users hang my RTMP protocol, I want only accept connections from the IP of the server, there are many users that are hung from the address: rtmp ://IP:1935/shoutcast

I followed this tutorial, without success

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-limit-publishing-of-live-streams-by-ip-list](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-limit-publishing-of-live-streams-by-ip-list)

/usr/local/WowzaMediaServer/lib

Do not understand how security works by token, so I think for now it is not a solution.

I hope your help, thank you.

It sounds like you are ingesting from a shoutcast server and you are having a problem restricting other publishing events (by IP) on the server to that given application. If this is the case, when you setup the [restrict by ip module](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-limit-publishing-of-live-streams-by-ip-list), what problems did you experience? Have any logs associated with it?

Hi,

I think that the hotlink denial module can help you.

Please take a look at this article: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-combat-hotlinking-your-adobe-flash-swf-file](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-combat-hotlinking-your-adobe-flash-swf-file)

Apparently everything is configured correctly, the problem is that anyone can hang my RTMP. eg

rtmp://myip.com:1935/shoutcast

And I want only my IP can connect from 127.0.0.1
