Restrict viewers by IP address
The Standalone VGA Grid permits you to restrict which computers can access broadcasts by building a list of
allowed and/or denied IP addresses. You can do this at a global level for the system and can also override
these settings on a per-channel basis. Both global and per-channel configuration procedures are described
below.
IP address restriction is valid for the viewer only and does not affect the web admin interface or
the mobile configuration interface.
If your viewer account has a password, your viewers must connect to the system from a computer (or
gateway) with a permitted IP address and must also supply the username (viewer) and password before they
can view the broadcast.
To restrict access by IP address you need to know the IP addresses, or range of addresses for your viewers. By
default all IP addresses are allowed to connect to the broadcast.
If you’re not familiar with creating allow/deny lists, refer to the examples below this procedure for assistance
with crafting your lists.
