I have a use-case where I want to open a socket and allow connections that are coming only from the same host/machine in which the socket is opened. I don't want to allow any connections from other hosts.
Basically, I want to simulate VM protocol concept of Apache ActiveMQ which works on port 61616.
I want to create something like this:
Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 5000)
Is there a way we can do this in Java? Or is there any workaround for this?
CodePudding user response:
Simply create a ServerSocket
that is bound to 127.0.0.1
for IPv4 or ::1
for IPv6. Only clients on the localhost will be able to connect to it.
