The traffic is counted in TB, or in Mbps at 95%, both in the Anycast CDN service and in the Video CDN.

Video CDN is a cloud-based solution that was specifically designed for Video-on-Demand platforms. It accelerates and optimizes the content delivery while maintaining top-notch quality. By offloading traffic from your servers, safeguarding your source files, and preventing unwanted activities like hot-linking and leeching, our CDN ensures that your content reaches your audience without compromises.

It works by storing three copies of your videos within our global network, streaming them directly to viewers from the most geographically optimal and load-balanced servers.

No. Additionally Advanced Hosting provides dedicated servers, colocation, cloud servers, domain registration and server administration. Please let us know if you need to set up any additional services.

We have developed one of the industry’s best hotlink protections. With our service, you can secure your content in at least nine different ways:

1. URL signature
2. URL Encryption
3. URL lifetime Limit
4. Referrers Allowlist or Blacklist
5. URL to IP (or range of IPs) Binding
6. Request Rate Limit (per URL)
7. IPs per URL Limit (per visit)
8. Cookie Check
9. Location-based Restrictions

One of the best ways to protect from hotlink is to bind URL to IP of the browser and specify the list of allows referees. But about 10-15% of visits use dynamic IP (there will be a request to the website from one IP and from another one to CDN). to block hotlinking but allow access to users with dynamic IPs (or cookies disabled) vCDN have the following rule: if IP binding check fails, or cookie check fails, but VALID (non-empty) REFERER is found – then access is granted. You can also add a cookie check – if its value matches the key value, then the request is valid, even if there is no IP binding or no ref (if the ref is, but does not match, the request will be rejected).

If IP binding is not used, the absence of a valid cookie will not reject the request only if there is a valid ref. But to use a cookie, you need to :

• delegate your subdomain to our NSs, so that we can use them in redirects to streams;
• provide us with certificate *.cdn.example.com for redirects to streaming servers https://ip123456.cdn.example.com/.. (in other case cookie check won`t work).

As a KVS partner, we have extensive experience configuring Kernel Video Sharing web servers and streaming servers for best joint performance with our Video CDN. Whether your needs are cloud-based or dedicated server-based, we can tailor a turnkey integration to meet your requirements.

 
Integrating your KVS resources with Video CDN will improve streaming performance, scalability, and reliability while avoiding the costs, intricacies, and maintenance of a hand-built network infrastructure and enabling cloud solutions incorporation. In most cases, you’ll be up and running in no time applying our custom script.
