Quote from: karlbensonIntroduction

When users click external links, the originating url is passed by users browsers to the site visited.
The variable is known as the http_referer and is often logged by the site visited.

This mod adds the ability to quickly redirect all external links through anonymizers/de-http_referers to prevent the actual originating url being logged.  This can be useful for certain types of forums (eg complaints forum or private forums) where you don't want your site to be tracked back.

So an external link eg http://www.youposted.com/ becomes http://anonym.to/?http://www.youposted.com

Requires: Auto Convert Urls setting to be enabled (via Admin > Posts & Topics > Settings);

Note 1: It does NOT anonymize anything other than the http_referer.
Note 2: You CANNOT customise or edit the 'redirect' page as they are hosted by the chosen anonymiser.

Features:

  • With this MOD all links in the posts will be anonymised, and prevent the actual originating url being logged.

  • You can enable and disable this MOD
    Admin > Posts and Topics > Posts Settings

  • You can select the method anonymised:
    - Anonymize All links
    - Anonymize All links (Except [noanon] bbcoded)
    - ONLY [anon] bbcoded links
    - ONLY links on the Custom Inclusion List


  • Anonymize YOUR Base/Subdomain links (Recommended ONLY if you do NOT own the domain)

  • Anonymize YOUR Servers IP links (Recommended if you do not own the domain or are on shared/free hosting)

  • Set a Custom Exclusion List (Domains/Subdomains/IPs to NEVER Anonymize)

  • Set a Custom Inclusion List (Domains/Subdomains/IPs to ALWAYS Anonymize) (ALWAYS: ignoring the method anonymised, BBCode noanon and the Exclusion List)
