Hi there, I'm trying to sitelock my html5 game so I made it only run if the domain is "v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net" which works in the browser. But today I installed the itch desktop app for fun and noticed the game does not run. Are there any other domains I need to check against?

Nevermind, I just realized it's because HTML5 games need to be downloaded and installed locally to play it through the app. It seems that my music mp3 assets are exposed. Is there anyway to obfuscate that? (Or is there something I need to do outside of itch.io prior to building my files?) Because I spent a lot of time composing and producing those soundtracks. Would be sad to see them get stolen and used elsewhere.

This is not possible, I’m afraid. Any files the game needs will be downloaded and thus on the player’s computer. And security through obscurity has been shown to never truly work. Your best bet is to send DCMAs every now and then.
