Title: is there a way to...
Post by: Anonymous on August 20, 2004, 09:13:50 PM

block a certain referer? Say I notice a link being posted on a server somewhere that I don't want to allow for some reason.

Nope, but you could ask rejetto for a feature-request.
You could manually block IPs however.

there's no refer control ATM
and it doesn't seem a beautiful idea to me  :?

anyway, i use opera and i can switch off the "refer" field from being transmitted ;)

Same here with IE... :)
with a separate webfilter.

Yes, but with reverse control you could make sure to only allow certain referers. If the referer is empty or "wrong", don't allow a download for instance.

Sorry to bring this from the dead, but I would like this feature. It would help me a bit.

Something where it checks to see what the referer is, and based on that, it disallows downloads or connections altogether.
It doesn't sound too hard, since there's an "allowed referer" option. Just reverse it?

Thanks.

That feature has been available for a long time. 

Switch to expert mode.  Menu -> Limits -> Allowed referrer

If that doesn't fit your needs, please tell what you can't do with it.

But doesn't that just allow one referer?
Can you explain exactly how I use it?

you set it as the string you require in the 'referer' of the request.
you can enter it as a simple string, but you can also
- use wildcards (* ?)
- specify more than one, separating with semicolons
- reverse the logic by putting a "\" ahead of it all

all these syntax rules are explained at
