   It appears that this plugin prevents a 404 error page from being displayed to the user.

   Once the plugin is activated, navigating to a non-existent URL will result in a blank page (no content, no markup) being returned to the browser. Deactivating the plugin corrects this issue and a proper 404 page is displayed.

   Of course, the problem is I want the plugin active to protect my uploads directory but I also want proper 404 pages to be displayed to the user outside of the uploads directory.

   I spent a couple minutes looking at this and realized that the private_filter function isn't quote correct. It fails to return anything as any good filter function should.

   Here is the end of the function currently (around line 314):
   

   } else {
   		//user not logged in, do nothing, let normal 404 handling continue
   	}
   }

   It needs to be updated as shown below:
   

   } else {
   		//user not logged in, do nothing, let normal 404 handling continue
   		return $type;
   	}
   }

   I haven't looked at the other scenarios before this one where there is nothing returned but in my quick tests it appears everything works so far.
