 * Hi,
 * Can someone tell me if Wordfence has any image protection built in? Don’t want
   visitors downloading images.
 * Thanks,
    Soca

 * Hi Soca,
    I’m not sure if you mean you want to stop “image hotlinking” on your
   website or something else, but there is no option like that in Wordfence by now,
   if you are using Apache web server I would recommend checking [this comprehensive tutorial](http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/smarter-way-to-prevent-image-hotlinking-with-htaccess/)
   about preventing image hotlinking using .htaccess file.
 * P.S. I doubt there is a way you can prevent your users from downloading your 
   images, as long as the image is on your server and can be served through it, 
   there will be a way to download it.
 * Thanks.

 * I understand, I found a plugin that does a number of things such as preventing
   a mouse right-click etc., just thought Wordfence would have something since it
   does so much to protect the sight already.
 * Thanks though, it is appreciated.
 * Regards,
    Soca
