What is Referrer Spoofing?
We have to explain what a referrer is before we go into detail. The referrer is the URL of the prior visited page. Lets take a look at the current referrer (if any):
Warning:
Your browser sends the wrong referrer so you will not see the images on
this page. Disable the referrer spoofer, or send the URL as referrer, to display
the images on this page.
We have setup a small example of referrer checking on this page. You will not see the menu image while using a fake referrer. We only check the referrer for /multizilla/ on this page but that can easily be changed to whatever you need.
Would you like to pay for other people that 'steal' content from your site? No? That's exactly why a lot of content owners consider referrer checking as their first line of defense. Ok, it's not 100% waterproof, but it certainly helps to reduce traffic.
Well that's not hard to tell, sites that need to protect their content will use it. Aduld sites are a big booming business on the Internet, so they might want to prevent others from stealing their content from the site.
Not all sites are fully functional when you setup referrer spoofing so you must disable MultiZilla's referrer spoofing for websites that refuse to work with fake referrers.
Limitations
The MultiZilla implementation doesn't support a per site referrer spoofer. We expect
this to be implemented in a future upgrade of MultiZilla.
