This was done for one of our customers who used lighttpd to stream their videos. The problem was other users were directly downloading the content from the website, which is essentially considered leeching/hotlinking and in turn using up our client's bandwidth. To prevent this, we followed these steps:
1. Find the access IP that shows up in your lighttpd access_log (typically in /var/log/lighttpd). The IP will most likely be the main IP of your server/VPS.
2. With that IP, add the following code to your lighttpd.conf file:
Code:
$HTTP["remoteip"] == "1.1.1.1" {
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/videoimagefolder/" {
url.access-deny = ( ".flv, .jpg, .gif" )
}
}
Replace the IP with the IP you find your logs, the folder with the folder where your videos, images or whatever the content may be are located. Lastly, put in the extension of the files you'd like to prevent access to. So, if you only have flv files, just put ".flv" in there.
That should do it!
Great host, have tried many they're certainly a top choice for me. Premium bandwidth, great prices, 100% stable, and great support.
I have never experienced a more professional and personal client-based service such as I am enjoying from AYKSolutions. This is no plotted statement either. I'm not a guru by no means, and they have been unbelievably superb in helping me promptly, professionally, courteously, and completely. Thank you Artyom & team.
Hi guys, I am pretty satisfied with your service. Yes, I have experienced some downtime issues with my boxes, but you guys have always been right there for me, at my beck and call whenever I need you. Additionally, you guys are always more than fair when it comes to helping me configure my boxes with my DirectAdmin control panel. Overall, I am very pleased with the service, both in terms of the hardware I receive from you as well as the customer service. Prices seem to be quite fair too. Thanks, Ephi
