I want to convert this to nginx rules
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
I’ve tried to put this on the web but I can not even open.
if ($http_referer !~ "^$"){
set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
}
if ($http_referer !~* "^http(s)?://(www.)?domain.com"){
set $rule_0 2$rule_0;
}
if ($rule_0 = "21"){
return 403;
break;
}

Hi!
I’m guessing these rules are there to stop people from hotlinking images hosted on your site? In some cases, writing the rules with nginx in mind is better than converting already-written htaccess/Apache rules.
Luckily, nginx supports referrer whitelisting by default. Use the following code:
location ~ .(gif|png|jpe?g)$ {
valid_referers none blocked domain.com www.domain.com;
if ($invalid_referer) {
return 403;
}
}
Make sure to restart nginx so that the changes take effect:
sudo service nginx restart
