## Description

Save bandwidth by easily blocking links to video, audio, and other files from unapproved
3rd-party sites.

#### Features

 * Choose from a list of common file extensions and include your own
 * Allow linking from multiple authorized websites
 * Selectively control direct linking
 * Generate the rules for your `.htaccess` file with minimal effort

This plugin modifies the site’s .htaccess file and requires mod_rewrite or compatible
modules like [ISAPI_rewrite for IIS](http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/).

#### Notes

This plugin was inspired by the [Hotlink Protection](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-image-hotlink-protection/)
plugin. There was a need for a more flexible implementation and so this plugin was
created.
