: Which domain do I need to whitelist as an HTTP referrer for Google+? I am using MaxCDN for my website, and to prevent hotlinking, I only allow my website's pictures to be displayed on whitelisted

I am using MaxCDN for my website, and to prevent hotlinking, I only allow my website's pictures to be displayed on whitelisted HTTP referrers, through MaxCDN's security settings.

However, even though I have added every kind of Google domain I could find, my post's pictures won't show up in new Google+ Posts.



These are the domains I have whitelisted so far:

*.googleusercontent.com
*.google.com
*.googleapis.com
*.gstatic.com
*.googlegroups.com
*.ggpht.com


Which server am I missing?

Google+ doesn't hotlink images. It fetches images directly from Google's servers and services cached versions to users so I doubt there will be a referrer. You might try whitelisting user-agents that contain Google.
