Hi,

 

Anybody know how to config nginx.conf to prevent hot linking or leeching of images not using mod_rewrite ? Please share your code of links, 

Thank you

Try to do it with Apache..

Make sure Apache mod_rewrite is enabled. Even though you said without using it..

Open the .htaccess and put this code anywhere..

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^your website name here.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*.(bmp|tif|gif|jpg|jpeg|jpe|png)$ - [F]

htaccess for nginx

# nginx configuration
location / 
{ if ($http_referer !~ "^$"){ return 403;
} 
}

Add this to the conf file.

location ~ .(jpe?g|png|gif)$ {
     valid_referers none blocked mysite.com *.mysite.com;
     if ($invalid_referer) {
        return   403;
    }
}

Of course change it to your site from mysite.com ..
