I don't think that is necessary---

In order to do this you are going to have to forward incoming traffic on your router.... you could control it there with some fancy tricks.

Instead, I would change the port of the webserver to something besides port 8088. This will prevent most automated scanning.

VPN with authentication is the only proper way of doing it....

You can't enable a password out of the box.

I have not tried it, but this should work:

Use nginx (http://nginx.org/en/download.html) as a reverse proxy on your vMix computer. There is also a Windows version for download.

You can use this guide:

For generating the htpassword-file use this link:

To start nginx as a service:
http://oss-world.blogspo...ndows-service-using.html

As last step you have to add a firewall rule on your local windows firewall which blocks incoming traffic except localhost/127.0.0.1 on port 8088 (default vMix port) to your vMix computer.

Now it's not possible anymore to access the vMix web interface directly, only through the reverse proxy.

Remote access to the web controller is possible with this addon I am working on. No port forwarding necessary -- you should just have to update the config file with your vMix port, enable the remote access options, and then run the program. It gives you your remote access URL. https://github.com/curtgrimes/vmix-rest-api

I plan on adding authentication at some point. https://github.com/curtg...s/vmix-rest-api/issues/2
