Yes. Anything that gets covered with 'url' tags will start off with 'http://www.anonym.to/?' which will make you go anonymously to the link you just clicked. You can try it by going to: http://privacy.net/analyze/ without the hack installed. Install the hack and see what happens after.

Yeah they won't know but anonym.to will... so how is that more secure?
Who is anonym.to?

Nothing is completly anonymous. If you don't want other websites to see you as a referrer, use this hack.

Abe1 · #6 08-22-2004, 07:40 PM

Your right Geographic2, but like intergra99 said, nothing is copletly anonymous. the best way would still be to disable 'url' but it would annoy members.

Merjawy · #7 08-22-2004, 07:43 PM

Thats just what the Doc ordered

thanks Abe1, I will be installing it indeed I hate the referal thing

I had to always proxy before I hit some links

Merjawy · #8 08-22-2004, 08:20 PM

I modded the file and tested it... its not working

I still show where I came from

EDIT: using vB3.0.3

Osterling · #9 08-22-2004, 10:44 PM

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
