I think I remember a hosts.deny file that can be placed on linux systems to reject network requests from hosts.  I have an interesting issue that is not exactly related to unraid.

 

I have just upgraded my phone (droid) and one of the first things it did during its programming is tell me that it found a media server -- my unraid system!!!  I am 100% paranoid about my phone (and google, and therefore anyone else) knowing everything about me based on my phone (the whole gps/contact list/etc thing where companies just take information from you and data mine it).  I do not use facecrook or any other related sites, and lock down my phone as best I can, but still... I DO NOT want my phone accessing or knowing about my unraid server, and I don't want google poking around with any data that my phone may forward.

 

Can I specifically tell unraid that, when my phone uses wifi in the house, it is to ignore my phone (and all the other phones in the house, for that matter) by MAC address?

 

Thanks.

 

 

ETA: Actually, now that i think of it, can I use a combination of hosts.deny and hosts to reject ALL traffic from ALL hosts, except those that I specify (trusted clients, HTPCs, etc)?

 

This will only work for inetd services. It cannot be used to secure an unRAID server.
