I dont’t understand this line :
url.access-deny = ( “” )

and why the line
# url.access-deny = ( “jpg”, “png”, “js”, “jpeg”, “gif” )

is commented ? does it meen that every file called out of the domain are bloqued ?

Wouldn’t be wiser to block all referrers by default and instead use a white list of those allowed?

$HTTP["referer"] =~ “*” {
url.access-deny = ( “” )
}
$HTTP["referer"] =~ “.*GOODDOMIN\.com.*” {
url.access-allow = ( “” )
}
