You may notice that when you click on a link from here to any other site, i am using a safe-url re-director.

What this does is stirps where you are coming from, so that you can not be back traced to here.

While I really dont care if people know where you are coming from, what I hate are the spider-bots, mail-bots, e-mail-spam bots that read your cookie files and collect all the info of where you jsut came from.

so when you see this URL
http://safeurl.de/?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aafiles.com%2Ffile.info%3FID%3D7 029 while changing location after clicking on some link

as an example, i clicked on the link that biddog or coby left in some message, and i just visitied aafiles, if aafiles is using some jave script to collect where you are coming from, it shows them you came from safeurl.de

Why I am doing this you may ask... I get tired of all the add's to buy junk emails etc filling up the main mail account here :)\

beside's that, it's nobody's GD business where you just game from :)

so, if your curiuos as to how it works just kick here and watch the address bar of your browser

QUESTION:

Is there a way for a user to set this to work for any site, all the time, on their machine?

Not sure how you do it on a local machine, I am using some php scripting inside of the forums here to do it..

code looks like this:

## Open
includes\bbcode.php

$ret = preg_replace("#([\n ])([a-z]+?)://([a-z0-9\-\.,\?!%\*_\#:;~\\&$@\/=\+]+)#ei", "'\\1<a href=\"http://safeurl.de/?'.urlencode('\\2://\\3'). '\" target=\"_blank\">\\2://\\3</a>'", $ret);



$ret = preg_replace("#([\n ])www\.([a-z0-9\-]+)\.([a-z0-9\-.\~]+)((?:/[a-z0-9\-\.,\?!%\*_\#:;~\\&$@\/=\+]*)?)#ei", "'\\1<a href=\"http://safeurl.de/?'.urlencode('http://www.\\2.\\3\\4').'\" target=\"_blank\">www.\\2.\\3\\4</a>'", $ret);
