title: How to protect image from public view in Laravel 5?
body: <p>I have installed Laravel 5.0 and have made Authentication. Everything is working just fine.</p>
  
  <p>My web site is only open for Authenticated members. The content inside is protected to Authenticated members only, but the images inside the site is not protected for public view.</p>
  
  <p>Any one writes the image URL directly can see the image, even if the person is not logged in to the system.</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://www.somedomainname.net/images/users/userImage.jpg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>My Question:</strong> is it possible to protect images (the above URL example) from public view, in other Word if a URL of the image send to any person, the individual must be member and login to be able to see the image.</p>
  
  <p>Is that possible and how?</p>
