antihotlinking.com or AHL is a goner, any others that still operate? - GoFuckYourself.com

boneless · 03-18-2010, 05:39 AM

as per the topic title, my box's harddrive is toast, i need my install of ahl, but their site is a goner, so now i can do two things, either open up a new box without any anti hotlinking module in place and prolly pay for the max my box can sent in traffic, or get a new solution...

anybody know of a good solution that works?

Why not simply via htaccess? Or am I missing something here?

Protecting .flv/.mp4/whatever files via .htaccess doesn't seem to work.

People are hotlinking a lot of content nowadays. Some sites have some kind of antihotlinking protections.

Try this code

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([-a-z0-9]+\.)?yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(wmv|flv|mp4|mov)$ - [F,NC,L]

@everyone wondering why to use something like AHL, htaccess doesnt protect movie files, AHL is specialised in doing so and provides me perfect stats of what hotlink attempts were made ;)

Flash video players don't send referer information, or something to that effect. I remember reading endless topics about this subject and mod_rewrite had been deemed useless. Stuff like rtmp streaming, server-side scripts, and special apache mods were touted as solutions.
