Hello,

I have popular forum at vBulletin, but today, when I looked through the Internet, I have seen a site where url to mine attachments lie, actually they eat my traffic, what it is not pleasant to me, whether it is possible to make protection against similar sites? That, if they press on their this url threw on the main page of my forum and if my users at mine forum press on attachment, it download attachment.

In advance thanks, Igor

Ah, yes, sorry my bad english

simple: go to edit the usergroup for "Unregistered / Not Logged In" and block all access to attachments.

so if the users are not logged on your site, they will not be able to download any attachment, the system will lock them out.

IF your files are just on your server but not inside the vBulletin Attachment engine, this is not related to vBulletin and you will have to deal with CPanel with the Hotlinks protection scripts you have on your host.

If you don't allow guests to view attachments, then outside sites cannot hotlink to them. However, there is also this Hotlink Protection thread - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122057

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
