I have a site of personal online-broadcastings on the basis of the WOWZA server. The programmer wrote for me the module for WOWZA and was gone. Therefore I address to you. As to me to solve two problems: 1. To global limit to users the maximum bitrate of a broadcasting in 1000kbit. (my Users can broadcast both through the site-flash, and through third-party external programs(XSplit etc…)). Some users need to allow me to 3000kbit. 2. I am the administrator of the WOWZA of the server. How I can, having seen the user stream with obscene content, immediately to switch off this stream? I didn’t find it in the administrative interface. Thank you in advance! P.S. I am ready to pay for the help ---

Hi, You can limit publishing bandwidth using [this method.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-monitor-bandwidth-of-published-streams-modulelimitpublishedstreambandwidth) 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. Daren ---

Hi, I’m Wowza consultant and can write you wowza module that will do everything in a way you want. To discuss this, please contact me by email: roman@dynamicstreaming.net ---
