    Hi,

    I have installed the lite version to see how this plugin is working.

    Hosting is Plesk (Apache, PHP 8.2.13).

    I have protected different files.

    Using a browser in incognito mode and open the protected link (with „/_pda/“ in filename) it could be openend and isn’t protected.

    … our webhoster has a special nginx-config for usage in combination with wprocket.

    nginx caching is still deactivated.

    we don’t have accesss to this settings.

    after adding the rewrite-rule (point 3.) everything works fine.

    Thanks for your reply and assistance.

    Yes, it is working fine, now.

    Protected files under …/_pda/… are redirected to 404 page and should be safe.

    Via private link I can reach and open them 😀
