Luke 37112 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 This is a possibility for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAlGaInTl 279 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Interesting idea. I think you can probably do this if you have a complex enough network already. But I could see the value of an Emby setting. Would MAC address be better? Or would that even be feasible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagtshirt 55 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Would be great to have this built into Emby. However, you could just do it from your network firewall or OS firewall. The downside is that most if not all of your external clients are probably subject to DHCP changing IPs every X amount of time. So you would have to keep up with what IPs you want to whitelist. @@BAlGaInTl Can't MAC addresses be spoofed easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be incredibly difficult to figure out "which" MAC address to spoof. I'm thinking of a mobile device that may connect from multiple places... the IP would constantly be changing.

Jdiesel 1114 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Assign a dynamic DNS to each device and whitelist the dynamic DNS rather than the IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-dumb1 121 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 You don't need to wait for this feature to be added if you know your way around iptables or Windows Firewall. ;-) Deny all incoming by default and specify which addresses you want to allow. That's what I have going right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
