Technical Details

The plugin implements multiple layers of protection:

  • Server-side Protection:

    • Signed URLs with short expiration times
    • Chunked video delivery
    • Content-Security-Policy headers
    • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
    • Access logging

  • Client-side Protection:

    • JavaScript barriers to prevent downloading
    • Custom video controls
    • Watermarking with customer identification
    • DevTools detection

🛡️ Security Considerations

While this plugin implements multiple layers of protection, no system can provide 100% security against determined attackers. The plugin focuses on preventing casual copying by typical users while maintaining a good viewing experience.

For absolute security of extremely valuable content, consider additional DRM solutions or streaming services that specialize in high-security media delivery.
