Stuff like this always happens. Some of our other customers had hacker attacks on their radios - hackers tried to bring their radio down.howebzar said:Yeah, I guessed it was ripping my music..not much I can do about it but it's "burning" my bandwidth by adding what looks like a listener every hour of the day. I suspect it won't cause a problem so I'll ignore for now (and just pretend I have a big audience ha ha)
It's not possible in Icecast. But Shoutcast has this feature.WBGS-Founder said:Last time I looked, I can see users and ban them in the admin options of the control panel area.
Unless it's a big problem, I don't think there's much point in changing your server to Shoutcast. Changing the server type will require to recreate your account - all settings will be deleted, also port number and physical server may change.howebzar said:If it becomes an issue, maybe I can move over to ShoutCast? (Seems to have stopped now...maybe they got tired of my music choices...and at 128k seems an odd thing to want to rip...but hey, the world is full of strange people)
Well, if you host this, then there are tools to block the ip you can one ban ip in icecast yes you can, or you can block the ip using this tool called http://www.peerblock.com/ Well if its hosted its the host job to secure the server after all you pay the service, and that's all there is no longer maintaining the server for you so you might wanna ask your host about that.djsoft said:Stuff like this always happens.
