Last updated: 2024-05-16 17:26:18
    This document shows you how to configure an IP allowlist/blocklist to filter requests and control access to streaming content.

    How It Works

    IP allowlist: Only the configured IP addresses are allowed to push streams to Cloud Streaming Services.
    IP blocklist: Only the configured IP addresses are restricted from pushing streams to Cloud Streaming Services.

    For an IP allowlist/blocklist configuration to apply to ongoing streams, you need to restart the streams.
