You should not map the URLs directly to your qrcode paths in Nginx, and instead use Django URLs to control the access. 

You can use Nginx’s X-Accel header functionality to redirect the user to the actual file without showing the real link. Google for “Using NGINX’s X-Accel with Remote URLs” on how to do that. 

You should also utilize expiring links for extra security. S3 supports expiring links but I’m sure others do, too.
