With this plugin you may obscure internal and external links. There are two obfuscation methods: manual and automatic redirections. With the manual method you can manually obscure certain links. The linking is done via a self-selected alias. In the automatic method, all links by a specific domain are completely obscured and automatically redirected via an additional script.
Of course, the plugin can also be used for internal redirects. So you can build up a webcode system. Long URLs can be called with short aliases. The web code can be distributed easily and comfortably in forums, etc..
In the manual method you can also specify whether you want to call the aliases via a query. This is necessary if mod_rewrite (.htaccess) is not activated. If you want to call the aliases directly, then you have to activate mod_rewrite.
In version 1.7-2 a second method was added. It allows fully automatic redirections of links to domains that have been previously defined in the settings of the plugin. The plugin will find all links of the specified domains on the loaded side and will convert them automatically. For the concealment the Blowfish algorithm is used. The link is converted by an additional script and afterwards redirected. The Blowfish algorithm requires a security token for the concealment. Without the security token the decryption of the encrypted links is not possible.
In version 1.7-3 another option was added: "Obscure all external links." This option allows you to obscure all external links automatically. The blacklist turns then to a white list. All links from domains that are entered in the list are not obscured!
On 28 January 2012 version 2.5-1 for Joomla! 2.5 was released.
