Add-On Releases - Link Anonymizer and Censor

Link Anonymizer and Censor 1.20

Author: MarcoH64

vBulletin Version: 3.6.x

Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts. Optionally it will also give you a Whitelist or Blacklist option for URL's. With this option you can censor URL's replacing those on the Blacklist (or not on the Whitelist) with a predefined text and/or link.

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Product.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forumhome directory.

Configuration:
vBulletin Options->Link Anonymizer and Censor:

• Local Addresses

Local addresses are not anonymized. If you leave this option blank, the value for vBulletin Options Cookie Domain will be used. Do not use a http:// prefix.

If you start the name with a dot (.mydomain.com) all server addresses ending with this will be considered local. If you want to add mulitple domain/servernames, seperate them by a single space.

• Anonymizer (default: http://anonym.to/?)

Link to a anonymizer function. Use preceding / if needed. Other Usable Anonymizers:

http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/

http://anonym.webgurus.de (Thanks Wachtmeister)

• Allways anonymize Unparseble URLs
• Other options are explained in the vBulletin Options

Alternative local redirect script that can be used with this modification can be found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=64

Please click install if you are using this hack.

okay I am slightly confused as well, but I'll explain what I want and see if this is a fit for what I need?

as for ym understand it will take all links i.e. google.com and turn it into an anon link? and I can add a blacklist of sites that it wont make anonymous? and with the link being anon will it still work like normal?
Thanks for taking a look at my question!

I don't know why I've missed this hack for so long. ** installs **

update pleace for 3.7.0
thanks installs

[masterross]

why this hack redirects mailto:... too ?

[Skierpetros]

can you make a mode for 3.7.1?

[chick]

This is a great mod and works very well. Thank you.

..... well this is interesting, I've just discovered some sites that can block a cloaked site from the link working. They must be running some type of preventative? I'd like to know what that is.

would it help to know the site that is running this prevent cloak script? I'd really like to know how to get around this site doing that.
