Hi,

I am running a stream for very few listerners from my Windows PC through my ADSL connection. I know this is not ideal, but I'm looking for a way to block rippers like streamrippers, preferably through the user agent.

Is this possible with Icecast 2.3.2 or maybe the KH branch?
Thanks for your replies!

Edit: I prefer not to activate user-auth if possible.

The problem with rippers is identifying them. You could use a user agent filter but that is only short term as the rippers can change that easily enough. You can block by IP in either codebase but the useragent filter is only in the kh tree with the <deny-agents> tag (a filename with matching lines to block, wildcards allowed)
