How can I prevent access to the Ant Media Server Web Panel?

How can I hide the Ant Media Server web panel from the public or anyone with a playback URL will be able to figure out how to get to the web panel login page?

Is there a way to restrict Web Panel access to specific IPs and still deliver playback URLs on 443 or 5443?

To restrict access to the Ant Media Server's web panel to specific IPs, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the server configuration file, which is located at /usr/local/antmedia/conf/red5.properties

2. Locate the property server.allowed_dashboard_CIDR within the configuration file. By default, it allows all IPs to access the web panel with the value server.allowed_dashboard_CIDR=0.0.0.0/0

3. Modify the configuration to specify the CIDR notation for the allowed IPs. For example, to allow access only from IP addresses 13.197.23.11/16 and 87.22.34.66/8, you would update the configuration as follows:
   server.allowed_dashboard_CIDR=13.197.23.11/16,87.22.34.66/8
   You can add multiple comma-separated CIDR notations if needed.

4. Save the changes to the configuration file.

5. Restart the Ant Media Server using the command: sudo service antmedia restart

This will apply the new configuration, and only the specified IPs will be able to access the web panel.
