  A feauture (.htaccess) to control the streamlinks. So you can edit, who can listen the streams. Incl. IP Blocking. In some Countries, it's not allowed to stream into other countries within a license.

  You can now specify a list of IP addresses that should be blocked from listening to your station. This can be useful for blocking "bad clients".

  Geo Locking (or Geo IP Blocking) is the ability to block (or allow) certain countries from tuning in to our radio.
  This feature is particularly useful for any clients who are required by their radio license to limit broadcasting to certain countries.
  We achieve this by maintaining databases of international IP ranges and their geographical locations as indicated by their IP WHOIS data.
  We then create specially crafted firewall rules to block these ranges from our radio's port as required.

  I use Docker with Azuracast. And yes, it would be nice, if we have the possibility to block countries from icecast. But, the Problem will be, that we can not use Icecasts own routine for it. because if you want stream to tunein, then the whole server needs to be blocked and not icecast. Or they refuse your station. And also a Problem would be, that if you want or need to block usa, then you block automaticaly LetsEncrypt, too. But because of License Limitations, yes we need geoip blocking. thx.

  Geo Location service works fine for radio streaming and it restricts access to banned countries but it doesn't work for OnDemand services.
  Please enforce banned countries for OnDemand/Podcast listeners as well.

  Any indication if this will be added as a feature and when might it be released?
  
  I have a case here for a station, and would need a time line if I am to use Azuracast.
  
  Thanks,
