How to block Client request to connect with server

[mfaizan24]

Hello everyone,
I want to block client's direct connection with server, The message should pop up at server saying so n so client wants to connect with it if server click on YES then only it should get connected otherwise message should send to client connection refused.

so far, I'm working on this codes.

I didn't try to read your code... i would suggest putting [ c o d e ] [ / c o d e ] (no spaces) around the code in your post to make it readable.

There really isn't a way to block the connection from the server, that would be a hardware or OS problem. What you will have to do is allow the connection, get the info about the user (username or ip), and then disconnect the connection after that point. You can even send them a small message saying you disconnected the connection (like if they didn't authenticate or you said no).

What is the real reason for block client's direct connection to server?

What do you want to achieve by this?

Is this about blocking some specific client and what about others
in that case? Authentication?
