.. could you more so explain what you mean by "locking a port"?

 

what exactly are you trying to block by this?

I DONT WANT someone to log into my raspberry pi camera if they know my ip and the port number

it is very insecure

i need a lock

I'm already in your cam it's to late.

 

Just cover the cam with black tape when you not using it m8, the ghetto way

It would help to know what kind of setup we are talking about. Is this an IP enabled webcam, or a regular webcam hooked up to a server of some sorts?

either lock the camera better, or remove the portforward in your router when you dont need it externally.

(or if you know which addresses will be accessing it, you can create a whitelist)

 

if you really want to be secure you could do it strictly via ssh tunneling, but forwarding ssh to the outside world is an entirely new form of insecurity.

(if you do, dont do it on the default port, theres an insane amount of attacks on that port...)

this is a regular ip webcamera

raspberry pi camera with a webpage that says 

pi cam demonstartion

so there is no way i can code a lock so only i can log in?

TCP port numbers range from 1 to 65 535.

 

If you have a server machine, Raspberry Pi, or similar on your network, you can forward the port there instead, and set up a reverse proxy with password protection. Nginx has good facilities for this.
