I need block all http connections, who have referrer click2dad.net.
I write in mysite.conf:
location / {
valid_referers ~.*http://click2dad\.net.*;
if ($invalid_referer = ''){
return 403;
}
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
But i still see in nginx logs:
HTTP/1.1" 200 26984 "http://click2dad.net/view/VUhfCE4ugTsb0SoKerhgMvPXcmXszU"
200, not 403
As it is correct to block all clients from the click2dad.net ?
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;
}
valid_referers
solution works but, to me personally, it's hard to maintain a long blacklist that way. An alternative solution is to use ngx_http_map_module
module. Under ubuntu 14.04 nginx distribution, you would make an /etc/nginx/blacklist.conf file:
# /etc/nginx/blacklist.conf
map $http_referer $bad_referer {
hostnames;
default 0;
# Put regexes for undesired referers here
"~social-buttons.com" 1;
"~semalt.com" 1;
"~kambasoft.com" 1;
"~savetubevideo.com" 1;
"~descargar-musica-gratis.net" 1;
"~7makemoneyonline.com" 1;
"~baixar-musicas-gratis.com" 1;
"~iloveitaly.com" 1;
"~ilovevitaly.ru" 1;
"~fbdownloader.com" 1;
"~econom.co" 1;
"~buttons-for-website.com" 1;
"~buttons-for-your-website.com" 1;
"~srecorder.co" 1;
"~darodar.com" 1;
"~priceg.com" 1;
"~blackhatworth.com" 1;
"~adviceforum.info" 1;
"~hulfingtonpost.com" 1;
"~best-seo-solution.com" 1;
"~googlsucks.com" 1;
"~theguardlan.com" 1;
"~i-x.wiki" 1;
"~buy-cheap-online.info" 1;
"~Get-Free-Traffic-Now.com" 1;
}
Then include it in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file:
# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
http {
# ...
include blacklist.conf;
# ...
}
Having done that, you can check for $bad_referer
condition in your nginx site:
# /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mysite.conf
server {
# ...
if ($bad_referer) {
return 444;
}
# ...
}
And to ensure that this stuff works, you can execute a similar command in your shell:
$ curl --referer http://www.social-buttons.com https://example.org
... which should give you:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
I wrote a blog post on this solution here https://fadeit.dk/blog/2015/04/22/nginx-referer-spam-blacklist/ .
Maybe you can try this config:
location / {
valid_referers ~click2dad.net;
if ($invalid_referer){
return 403;
}
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
Anyway, the right answer is just in this document.
