For the protection of direct links to web pages, images and
other page content.
Link Protect will protect
the links to your images and page content from direct download,
search programs and other illegal linking activity.
-
Prevent unauthorized access to your web images and
content.
-
Check that the call for your image(s) is from an
authorized site.
-
Eliminate bandwidth abuse completely.
Link Protect is designed to stop external links to your files,
either from other websites or direct entry of a URL. The links
calling your pages and images are delivered by Link Protect, which
checks the referring URL. Any type of file can be protected with Link Protect - gif, jpg,
html, exe. The files are stored in a location which is inaccessible
from a direct URL, so there is no way in the world (wide web)
to link to your files other than through Link Protect.
Link Protect is not designed to prohibit access to your files
- it simply controls access to your files from external links.
Users will still be able to view your website normally, but now
you have control over what and where it is downloaded. You can specify domains from which you will accept links such
as your other sites or those of authorized associates. Any attempt
to link from somewhere else will result in an error message (in
the form of a nice big image saying "Invalid Domain").
Your
protected content is stored in a folder only known to Link Protect.
When a link is clicked or a call made for the page through Link
Protect, the software will check that the call is from an authorized
site. If the referring address is not listed as an authorized site,
a default image is displayed instead of the content.
Link Protect Demo
Try sending the link below to yourself by email
Before
you can use Link Protect, you must have a cgi-bin in your web site.
Check that you do have one and that you have permission to use it.
Link Protect will run on both Unix and NT web servers.
Unauthorised
linking
Link protect checks the location of the caller against your list of
approved links.
Each call for an image or page is controlled by Link
Protect which verifies the origin of the call. If the
request is not from within your web site or from one
of the authorized, a customized
error message is delivered instead.
The image on the server remains completely safe until it
is legally downloaded, with your authorization. Pages or images
linked with Link Protect do not reveal direct links to search
engines and grab software that then use the links to locate
content.
Licensing
A self-install license is available for US$35 per site.
Before you can use Link Protect, you must have a cgi-bin in your web site.
Check that you do have one and that you have permission to use it.
