[Icecast-dev] multiple connection

[Yaniv Sharon]

It is possible to ask the development team of icecast to implement a solution for that?

Something like – "if the same IP pulling the stream over X instances for X time" to kick him?

 

I believe im not the only one that having that issue from time to time…

If you don't want to modify sources of icecast which is non trivial I would have recommended writing a script that fetches list of clients periodically over icecast admin API and kills these that utilize too many connections. 

If they would have keep reconnecting you should implement more advanced solution - with total blocking  on firewall or within icecast.

If you need further support, please PM me at marcin at radiokit.org

I didn't pick up the data from the access file, just from the error file...

About players, I can't control what the "radio index" sites are doing with
my icecast streaming address,
But as far as I know from my experience, the players when they getting
"crazy" causing between 3-5 multiple connections for less than a 2 minutes.
Not a big issue.

The situation that I'm describing is very different, 20-30 (and once even
almost 40) "listeners" from the same IP, for a long time. Each "listener"
using true bandwidth.
The IP source is from Vietnam, Korea...i really think that abusing its what
I'm talking about.
( What a mobile device will handle 30 instances for 20 minutes? )

Any idea to handle situation like that one?

Please have a look at the access.log. Is it a user of a mobile device?
Maybe you can give us the User Agent string.

Some of them seem to be horribly buggy. For whatever reason.

Have a nice day!
