proxy_pass to route requests from Nginx to Node.If you’d like to also prevent hot linking then you might like to first have a read of Marcel Eichner’s post on preventing hot linking which this post is based on.
Then you can use a slightly modified version of that code which includes the
proxy_pass directive in both of the location sections.server {
server_name yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com;
location ~* (.jpg|.png|.gif)$ {
valid_referers none blocked yourdomain.com www.yourdomain.com ~.google. ~.yahoo. ~.bing. ~.facebook. ~.fbcdn.;
if ($invalid_referer) {
return 403;
}
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8123;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8123;
}
}In the
valid_referers line, ‘blocked’ allows Referers that have been blocked by a firewall, ‘none’ allows requests with no Referer.This is then followed by a list of domains and domain patterns that are also allowed. Google, Bing, etc are allowed for their image bots to access your site.
