Can My videos be hotlinked?

[easyenglish]

I would like to know if my videos can be hotlinked. Can someone find the source url from S3 bubble embed code?

I do know that domain restriction can be applied. But what if someone simply finds out my amazon bucket link and finds another player to run the file, I’ll end up paying a hefty amount to Amzaon for that hotlinked material.

I would like to know how secure my videos are from hotlinking using s3bubble. Thanks

Hi Easyenglish,

If you want to add extra protection please add this to your bucket policy.

Go to your bucket in AWS and click properties under permissions click edit/add bucket policy and paste the following in you will need to be using iframes and also make sure you change the bucket name.

{
	"Version": "2008-10-17",
	"Id": "S3BubbleSecurity",
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Sid": "1",
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Principal": {
				"AWS": "*"
			},
			"Action": "s3:GetObject",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::(YOUR BUCKET NAME GOES HERE)/*",
			"Condition": {
				"StringLike": {
					"aws:Referer": [
						"https://media.s3bubble.com/*"
					]
				}
			}
		},
		{
			"Sid": "Explicit deny to ensure requests are allowed only from specific referer.",
			"Effect": "Deny",
			"Principal": "*",
			"Action": "s3:GetObject",
			"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::(YOUR BUCKET NAME GOES HERE)/*",
			"Condition": {

}
