Disable webaccess to emby server?

[dcook 301]

Hi, I am wondering if there is an easy way to disable access to the HTML interface of Emby?

I know in my user settings under the access tab I can uncheck all and then select the specific devices I want allowed, but I don't want to have to manage that.

I would rather allow all devices, but disable direct HTML browser access.

HI, not generically, no. Only via device access.

@Lukeso if my users are using apps (tablets, firetv, etc) there is no way to disable or lock down the HTML interface of the Emby Server?
I know I can block the 8096 port but I assume that will break the apps as well?

Is it possible to move the HTML dashboard to a different port and keep 8096 only for the apps that are connecting?

Traditionally my family has all been inside the LAN access, but now some of them are going off to school and not living at home, I still want them to be able to access using their apps, but I don't want to expose the HTML dashboard to the Internet!

Right shirt there is no way to do this universally.

 Blocking via device access will work but it requires some manual effort.

Do you know if is on the roadmap in the near future?

To me it seems like common sense to have the HTML dashboard access separate from the user app access

If its not on the roadmap, how about a simple switch under the Network Settings:

Disable HTML access to all non admin users (Yes/No)

You might be able to do it via reverse proxy filtering some how.
Bet some one in here will know.
