Have you configured the hotlink to nginx correctly?

Question

Nginx

I closed the folder completely.

location /hls/ {
        valid_referers none blocked 128.**.293.88;
      if ($invalid_referer) {
           return   403;
      }
        }

Everything plays on the URL for me, on the localhost it also plays everything, I threw it on the domain name (test site) the link did not work there already 403 code (it seems everything is normal). But if you try through VLC everything works (on the local machine) Is this normal? Since there is no other car handy.

Answer 1

Conducted a number of experiments, through a proxy, and so on. other services seem to work, but I don’t know if all this is reliable or not, I don’t want to give away content.

Answer 2

Try adding an internal directive to location;
nginx.org/ru/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#i...

Answer 3

> But if you try through VLC, everything works
Reasonably, VLC does not transmit the referrer (like any other http client, if you just give it a link).
And you have none in valid_referers.
