[Solved] - Keycdn, zone referrer and hotlink protection..

Hi ..

Have to say honestly - the english can be difficult to both read and understand, when its not the native language.

I have my keycdn working smoothly with my XF site running on centminmod.. I have a cname zone. I wish to activate some kind of hotlink protection of my sites many pictures. For that I do think to utilize the keycdn zonereferrer.. And here it comes - I simply don't understand what I have to do. - Create a Zonereferrer (Hotlink Protection) - KeyCDN Support

I wish to have hotlink protection in place before I go on an buy BD Attachment Store - so alot more data could be utilize by cdn.

One of the thing that make it difficult for me is this:

Do I need both the original zone and my own created cname zone?

So - are here some other keycdn users who are using hotlink protection that way? Can you perhaps in simple words tell me the few steps here?

Thanks in advance.

@eva2000 - thanks for getting back to me, appreciated..

Do you mean like this:



If so - should I also add one the my domain without www?

 

Oh man - so many frustrated hours, and yet so easy... So what can I learn about that - do NOT overthink stuff.

 

Think I nailed it - thanks @eva2000 for your kind explanation and help ..

Tested it as stated on keycdn..
