Title: allowed referer
Post by: cartemem on June 15, 2015, 05:26:18 PM

hello

I've Just Started using HFS software to provide direct links on my website for users to download
Any way let say My website is domain.com for example
and am using HFS on a dedicated server i linked the server IP to download.domain.com

i want the user to be able from my website only so no one can copy/past link from my website and put them somewhere else because they caused me
17TB bandwidth   in one day !  so i used allowed referer and i put My domain.com

the problem the post links are domain.com/%postname%  So The Links won't work and no one can download any ideas how to make this work please ?

I might have a solution, but it requires another computer....

In the windows server world, the "domain.com" is considered a PDC(Primary Domain Controller) a server that x and x domain for services...

You will need two machines! A PDC and the HFS server machine at download.domain.com

so your current website will be on one server the PDC "domain.com " and the HFS server will connect to the PDC and you can nat traffic on the local network so the HFS server talks to and works only for domain.com .... Thereby giving you download.domain.com not accessible via the web except through domain.com and tunneling....

that the only solution that comes to mind... good luck

If your machine can handle it, i would open a virtual machine and nat the traffic, calling the virtual machine download.domain.com and have HFS run it it...

when it stops i would first check if the connection works locally, by browsing the file list on the same computer where HFS runs
