---- Deny direct request to images on the website

The core problem is that your server can't tell the difference between a hotlink and a direct request. The referer is identical either way: It's the name of the requesting page.


if this is true, then logically you can write rules to exclude all other websites when requesting jpg files and serve particular page instead. not by IP or UA, but domain name.
