This Hack is not longer supported!!! Please use :

Own Redirector and Anonymization V2.0.1 for 3.6.x

<i>if ($url_info["host"]=="www.YOURDOMAIN.de"):</i>

^^

What about YOURDOMAIN.DE without the www. ?

Can´t work because vBulletin does not use URL´s without www. for redirecting unhacked.

Was this just a question if it works or do you need this without www. ?

But of course you can ad this Line so that it works with both. With www. or without.

what does this hack do?

Sorry i forget :


Demo - that?s what it looks like if you click on a Link (http://www.google.de) where the Hack is installed :

I have inserted a Screenshot for Hack in Action above in the first Posting ! ;)

Sorry, but I don't speak German and am no wiser now, please can you explain this hacks actual purpose.

Thanks!!
works great.

@Paul M - sorry i think this is selfexplaining.

Using a META REFRESH to handle the URL for the destination, the hack successfully prevents the referer header being set. As using META REFRESH is one of the ways in which to prevent referer info being set. (Another is using SSL for example.)

This means that the end site cannot see where the request originated... it basically is anonymising the requests of your user.

You might think this is pointless, but some organisations such as the BNP in the UK frequently check their logfiles and visit sites that links came from. In this instance using this hack will prevent a political conversation from being invaded by trolls from sites linked to.

In a one-liner: It anonymises hyperlinks on your forum by preventing referer information being sent to the end site.

And it opens a Disclaimer before Redirecting to the other Site what is necessary in some European Countries.
