hotlinking shouldn't cause noticeable bandwidth usage really but the solution is to use Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/scrapeshield -- Kili.io - OpenStack for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 2:31 PM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
Hallo skunks,
Sometime back I decided to protect images from being hot-linked and it got me confused for a whole day before I figured out what was going on. You know how we want to protect our hard earned bandwidth from hot-linkers.
All the images inside the blog posts stopped showing, this means any image that was being delivered by the Content Delivery Network I use wouldn't show. Had to disable hot-link protection and all was well.
Anyone been through this and is there any way to get both?
