Nginx block from referrer

Question

I need block all http connections, who have referrer click2dad.net. I write in mysite.conf:

 location / {
            valid_referers ~.*http://click2dad\\.net.*;         


        

Answer 1

It should be noted that an expression will be matched against the text starting after the “http://” or “https://” http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_referer_module.html

Correct config:

 location / {
            valid_referers click2dad.net*;
            if ($invalid_referer = ''){
                    return 403;
            }
            try_files       $uri    $uri/   /index.php?$args;
    }
