Connection per device.

Postby JustWazza » Sat Mar 17, 2018 11:34 pm

Is this possible on the windows side of things, ive had a look around and couldn't see either a mod or a way around.

If i create a user, How can i limit them to 1 connection per device.

Instead of 1 user, logging in on 5 different devices?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Wazza

In Windows you can't limit the number of connections from 1 user.
Windows Firewall doesn't have a feature where you can limit the number of connections originating from 1 ip address.
If you want that you'd have to switch to a more professional firewall.
If you'd run Subsonic under IIS you could use the feature Dynamic IP Restictions as described at https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/dynamic-ip-restrictions
But than you'd be also facing the problem of blocking one user who connects to your server using different ISP's ( e.g. 4G and Broadband Internet Connection) thus using different Ip addresses.
The only way to restict a user from abusing his access to your server would be by limiting the bitrate ( Settings >> User >> Max. Bitrate 32 Kbps). Limiting the bitrate also means that that user won't be using much bandwith from your internetconnection.
Another option would be to delete that user completely. :lol:
