How to enable hotlink and IP policies on a CDN pullzone

Hotlink and IP policies helps to block or allow access from domains or IPs to your CDN endpoint.

Hotlink: Controls access for domains
IP Access Policy: Controls access for IP addresses

Both options are disabled by default, however, you can set your own policies if needed by following the guide;

Go to the Security tab in the Pull zone's manage page



Under Hotlink select the Policy option from the drop down to set your Hotlink policies




Disabled: No policies are set
Allowed by default: All access is allowed except for the domains added in the Exemptions box. (separate multiple domains with a space)
Blocked by default: All access is blocked except for the domains added in the Exemptions box. (separate multiple domains with a space)

Click Save Hotlink Policy to save settings
