I want to use nginx referer module to restrict access to a URL containing a
directory /radio/
Only allowing access to it from a link with http referer *.mysite.*
(anysubdomain.mysite.anytld) otherwise redirect to 403
Is the referer module already loaded in nginx if not how do I load it
I found various code examples to add to the conf file and coupled this
together and added it to the end of the conf file, but it doesn't work,
entering a URL directly into the browser serves it
<code>
server {
location /radio/ {
valid_referers none blocked server_names ~\.mysite\.;
if ($invalid_referer) {
return 403;
}
}
}
</code>
Should just the location bit of code be added inside an existing server
block
My set up is nginx in docker on Ubunto 18 on a Digital Ocean droplet
Any help would be appreciated, been working on this for days
Best regards
Ashley
