Your website hosts and uses a lot of images in articles. And some other websites copy articles from your website, using the link (hot link) of the photos. This costs you a lot of monthly bandwidth, and limits the speed of your website. So how to prevent this “leech link”?.

Tips: Usually, for promotional purposes, in addition to preventing “leech link” of photos from your hosting. You can convert the “leech” image to an image of your choice (like your site’s logo, banner, for example).

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?anonyviet.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ http://www.anonyviet.com/logo.jpg [R,NC,L]
In the example code above, I use the link as the domain name of my blog. Please change with the domain name of your website!
If you add the above content to the httpd.conf file, you need to restart apache (editing the .htaccess file is not necessary)
