How to Configure Hotlink Protection?

Under URLs to allow access, you can allow access to an external website or your website. For example, if you have a subdomain such as demo.example.com, you can add this website’s URL to the list of allowed websites.

That is it. You have protected your website images from being used on external websites, helping to save bandwidth and keep your content secure.
