I am making a site and when people post links now, it goes directly to that site, I want to make a script so that whenever a link is posted it have to go through a refferer.php script. Basically I want the Refferer Info stripped so the site they are linking to can't tell the traffic is coming from us. I have seen sites use this before, but can't find some sample code to even get me started. Can someone post a script, or example, or at least point me in the right direction?
I've seen sites like anonym.to but I would like the script to be on my site. So if anyone has a script similar to those sites, I would be most appreciative.
The major ones seem to do so. Actually I was quite surprised to not see them doing it as I was expecting the referrer to be sent also with a meta refresh, however for some reason they do not do it.
Assuming you have a bunch of links that you want to do this with, on a variety of pages. The number could add up quickly. You don`t want to be creating a seperate redirect page for each link. So, the links should be something like this http://www.blah.ca/forward.php?link_id=1
The forwarding script (Named forward.php of course) Will contain a seperate line for each possible link value.
So in forward we would have the following::
<?
if($_GET['link_id'] == 1){ $redirect_to = "http:///www.flying-cows.ca"; }
//repeat this line for each appropriate link changing as necessary
?>
is there a 100% solution ? how do I allow access to a site only for certain browsers, that would be more secure if you don't want to send out ANY referrer

if you put it in an img tag and post an image inside a forum message it works. it sends image file owners website as a referrer. so target site thinks request is coming from itself
or you can try this:
Code:
http://www.fakeref.com/fakeref.php
( write full url of the file address, not only a website address )
I'd guess that just uses something like cURL to mask the HTTP_REFERER.
If I guessed right then the page you go to:
If it had relative images, they would not load,
And if they had absolute images then it would send the HTTP_REFERER whilst getting the image, making the script unneeded in the first place.
I tried it whilst using the Live HTTP Headers add on, and it clearly adds "Referer: http://www.fakeref.com/fakeref.php" to every request, which shows the site it comes from...
