Flussonic Token Auth – Secure

🔐 How to Secure IPTV Streams with Flussonic Token Auth (Full Beginner Guide)

Protect your IPTV platform like a pro using Flussonic Token Authentication. In this beginner-friendly tutorial from IPTVTools.io, you’ll learn how to configure token-secured stream access to stop unauthorized sharing and enforce session control.

📌 What is Flussonic Token Authentication?

Token Authentication (also known as Securelink Auth) generates time-limited, signed URLs that only authorized viewers can access. This prevents piracy, restreaming, and gives you control over when and how streams are consumed.

🔐 Why Use Token Auth in IPTV?

• 🔒 Prevents unauthorized access to content
• 🌐 Restricts by viewer IP address
• ⏱️ Limits playback time with expiration
• 🔁 Stops link sharing or embedding abuse
• 🛡️ Adds an extra security layer for public streams

🧩 Step 2: Configure Secure Token in Flussonic

Log into your Flussonic panel and navigate to:
Config → Config Editor

Paste the following basic setup:

# Global settings:
http 80;
rtmp 1935;
pulsedb /var/lib/flussonic;
session_log /var/lib/flussonic;
edit_auth flussonic letmein!;

# Stream templates:
# Template globals currently applies to all streams without templates.
# This will change in future, explicit template usage is recommended.
#template globals {
  on_play securetoken://mysecretkey;
#}


# Ingest streams:
stream ESPN {
  input hls://yourstream.com/index.m3u8;
}

✅ Replace mysecretkey with a complex, private key. This must match what your PHP script will use for generating secure tokens.
