#1 Add ability to control what IP address server binds to

[Anonymous]

It would be nice to be able to control to what IP
address(es) and interface(s) the owwnogui server binds.

For example, I run the owwnogui on my firewall/server
box - I do NOT want the oww packets being sent to the
Internet side of things, nor do I want the server to
respond to packets from the Internet side of things.

Yes, I can (and have) set firewall rules up to prevent
this, but it would be even better if the owwnogui
daemon could be instructed to bind only to 127.0.0.1
and 10.0.0.1.

See the Samba project, or the Apache project, for
examples of such limits.

Understood - but it means a significant increase in
complexity for the server code. I'll leave this open and
think about it.

Thanks for the suggestion,
