Try using 'erpc' - https://github.com/bet365/erpc

It mostly has the same API as native rpc module, but on the server side you
can specify access controls for each client. You can specify which client
ips are allowed to connect, and for each incoming IP address, what
combination of {Module, Function} are allowed.
