Posted on October 2, 2019

Hello, I want to use Digitalocean spaces with CDN. I have 50+ wordpress websites with lots of images. I want to know how can I prevent the digitalocean space cdn url from hotlinking so no one can use my cdn urls use their domains.

Hello,

I believe that you should be able to do that with the CORS policies. You can basically set CORS policies to allow embedding of content from your domains:

You will want to add your exact domain including subdomain and HTTP/HTTPS https://www.mydomain.com and check the GET box.

Hope that this helps!
