Cpanel - Hotlink - Help

[furca]

Hi,


I have a cpanel reseller, I have the domain RareTradeValues.com, and its a site for a popular game (habbo hotel). People are hotlinking stealing images and bandwidth, and I want to get back at them


I want to make the image transform to something like "CLICK ME" and go to my site, raretradevalues.com

I've tried this http://www.raretradevalues.com/rtvstolen.htm

I redirect the hotlink to that site,


but one of the stealing sites "http://www.freewebs.com/habbonuthouse/rarevalues.htm" just shows alot of broken images... help please

If your host supports mod_rewite then Add the following code to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*jpg$|.*gif$|.*png$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !yoursite\.com [NC]  -- ##
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !otherallowedsites\.com [NC]  -- ##
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]   -- ###

RewriteRule (.*) /denied.jpg  -- ##

-- ## Please replace with correct values.
--### required for google image search

hope this will help you
