Title: Disable IP logging?
Post by: Rush on December 25, 2010, 06:10:57 am

Hi,

is it possible to disable the IP logging? The IP logging actually creates a legal issue in Germany. Any advice is appreciated.

Only the admin can see the Ip's, I don't think the public can view your listener's IP addresses

IP logging is an inbuilt and non-configurable feature of ShoutCast DNAS and IceCast so no, there's nothing we can do about that from within Centova Cast.

Granted I'm neither a lawyer nor a resident of Germany, but bear in mind that virtually every web server on the planet maintains very similar logs which also contain IP addresses.  So unless it's illegal to run a stock Apache/nginx/lighty server in Germany I'd be surprised if you ran into any problems doing something identical with a ShoutCast server.
