vbAnonymizer

Description:
This is a hack to "anonymize" all outgoing links from your forum to prevent the referrer information from being sent.

Installation:
All the installation information is in the package.

What's different about this one?
Unlike the other anonymizing hacks, this one is integrated with vBulletin, meaning it shows a nice message along with your forum's headers and footers.

Other Versions:
vbAnonymizer for 3.7 - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=184267

if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=YOURDOMAIN.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))

Replace YOURDOMAIN.COM with a domain, for each domain you want to anonymize, add an 'OR'. For example:

PHP Code:


			
if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=YOURDOMAIN.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches) OR preg_match_all("/(\<a href=DOMAIN2.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))

Thanks for the info, Dismounted.

I have applied what you suggested but for some reason it won't anonymize the link at all - it doesn't acess the "referrers.php" file and just acts like a normal link.

BTW, I don't know if it makes a difference or not but if you try to enter: http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM you'll get errors like this:

Code:

Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Unknown modifier '/' in /includes/init.php(319) : eval()'d code on line 32

So I can only do it as you mentioned above, but again, it won't anonymize the link.

Any other suggestions? ty

You need to put a backslash '\' behind each and every slash.

It should be anonymizing only the posts then. I can't find anything wrong with the code.

I have a curious question.

The program works fine except when linking to certain sites.

When a links to some of these specific sites are posted on our board...if someone tries to "click through" they get this error meesage.

The links are good, but it's only when forwarded by the vbAnonymizer
that the error occurs.

It's no biggie, but I would like to know why and if there is a "workaround".

Thanks in advance.

You are using an old version of the hack (I think). Do a full uninstall and install again.

v2.2 doesn't seem to work for Safari... still sends the refer (as http://www.forums.com/forum/redirector.php?url=%68%74%74%70%3a%2f%2f.....).

I've hacked around this for now (by forcing Safari users to go through anonym.to instead), but I'd be interested in a better solution.

Dismounted, thanks for all your efforts and feel free to contact me if you need someone to test with Safari or other Mac browsers.

Yeah I did that. I just copied your code and replaced the yourdoman.com part only - I left everything else as is.

Code:

if (preg_match_all("/(\<a href=YOURDOMAIN.COM\")(.[^\"]*)/i", $text, $matches))

It's supposed to send the URL's like that. Maybe Safari can't handle HEX-encoded URL's.
