Hi,
running a UVNC 1.2.0.6 server I want to restrict access to that uvnc server so that only IPs beginning with
188.97
84.58
88.69
are allowed to connect to the uvnc server.
I added following line in uvnc.ini
AuthHosts=-:?188.97:?84.58:?88.69
and stopped and restarted the uvnc service.
Nevertheless all 1-2 minutes the default popup window for accepting/rejecting the request from outside shows up with an unknown IP number from China.
I thought that the line
AuthHosts=-:?188.97:?84.58:?88.69
stops those popups except from the IPs mentioned above (188.97:?84.58:?88.69)
Why does it not work correctly?
Thanks and best regards

AuthHosts=-:?188.97:?84.58:?88.69: end with a :
You have ? for your 3 ranges
and - for all other
The reaction depend on the QuerySetting parameter
Sample: If QuerySetting=0, then -=popup and ?=accept
QuerySetting
Define on how to react on the (-,?,+) from the Authhosts.
0="+:Accept, ?:Accept, -:Query"
1="+:Accept, ?:Accept, -:Reject"

Re: uvnc.ini => AuthHosts-Entry not working!
Thanks for your reply!
But I still wonder what I am doing wrong?
QuerySetting is 2 in my uvnc.ini.
What I want is that only IP-Addresses from vodafone or beginning with
188.97
84.58
88.69
result in a query popup window on the machine where uvnc server is running on so that there the user can reject or accept the connection. ALL other IPs shall be blocked and not result in a query window what should be enabled by the "-" after AuthHosts=.
AuthHosts=-:?188.97:?84.58:?88.69
Can you please tell me what is wrong in the term mentioned above?
I still get requests and query windows by IPs from CHINA.
Thanks and best regards

Re: uvnc.ini => AuthHosts-Entry not working!
what er the hacker ip addresses
They are logged in mslogon.log

Only ip addresses that match the ? get a popup, so if the hacker ip addresses get a popup they are resolved as part of the
strings after ?
Please activate server logging it create winvnc.log
Do you see this lines, i try to access from the localhost, this is refuse
